Charlie... The lights were from Ikea too.  Out of the lighting section in the down stairs market place.

The firewall should fit between the fenders fine because the Monogram 53 Chevy is too narrow., but might need to have a strip added to the bottom because the body is too tall and needs to be sectioned. It looks like brewsterg6 may have made his inner fenders, and this body is too long but I havent looked close enough at this kit to see just where. 

 

The inner fenders and the firewall fit in with minimal trimming.  Odd that I had to trim stuff considering the scales are supposed to be the opposite way, but that's what happened!  The length was fine because they end at the rad, and on the '51 kit they extend in front of the rad right up to the back of the head lights.

I'm using Billy Bookcases from Ikea as well.  The more I build, the more times I have to go back for more glass shelves!

I'm building a monogram '53 factory stock.  One of the details I changed to make it look more stock is to ditch the inner fenders and firewall, and replace them with the ones from the AMT 1951 kit.  I've got aways to go: this has been on the back burner...

Hey Rick... I also found this early photo of the Wildcat.  Check out the hubs.  It looks like they don't turn, and act as a scoop for the brakes...
