 Thanks guys!

just about standing on its own rubber now.  Odd how the color between the pics changed. Nothing changed except the angle of the camera and the hood was dropped on. I think I see a future 49/50 Merc done in this color as well.

Body is just sitting on the chassis at the moment. Got the driving/fog lights done. Used a couple bowls from the parts box, silvered on the inside and matched to the body color, and the lenses are clear rubber cabinet door bumpers tinted with a yellow Sharpie. Rims are also matched to the gunmetal of the body, with Chrome centerpieces and the red logo. 

Time to get started on the brightwork, and create some new glass. The stock kit glass in this kit is 1.5mm / 1/8" thick, so need to make something a bit thinner. Fortunately, no complex curves, so flat stock should do the trick. Also need to get the clearcoat/polishing done. Might get one more update in, then this one will be "Under Glass".

Thanks again for the comments and resource info. It certainly made this build a more enjoyable project for me!

Final Update before finishing. 

Just a few details left to take care of before it goes under glass. Windscreen, headlamp lenses, rear bumper, rear view windows, get the body attached to the chassis, and a little chrome touch up.

So, here it is, in its near finished glory.

This has been a fun build, and thanks again for the looks, feedback and resource assistance.  Happy Building!
