Thought I'd share a small update, after all this model's being on the go for the last 5yrs now. The front bumper was done by hand with the back milled. My friend Peter milled the grill surround & I use CTM's K100 PE grill. I'm now working out how to do the mirrors out of billet aluminium. I'll get this finished one day.

I look forward to seeing your progress, hopefully it's quicker than mine, 5yrs & counting.

Small update. 

My friend Peter cad designed all the instrument panels for the dash, he also machined the mirrors, headlight surrounds, grill & bumper. He showed me how to make the spotlights on the lathe. 

I have contacted Jan @ CTM to see if he will do the instrument panels, I hoping. The dash is available to be cast by? 

The only kit chrome left is the roof lights so if anyone knows where I might acquire some metal/aluminium lights from, please let me know or I may have to learn to cast them myself.

Yes, this is the AMT kit & I have opened the doors & I now have to rebuild the interior. 

I may get this finished yet.

Nice work Phil.

Thank you.

Peter's the one who I'm forever grateful to, if it wasn't for him most of this wouldn't be possible.
