kennb Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 A friend of mine made a 1;1 like this a number of years ago...cranted he started with a coupe which would be easier. This one of the glue bombs I got Sunday. Stripped the blue strips and started cutting, KennB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kennb Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 I got a little carried away cutting the seats and had to put some back in. There is still a little jump seat in the back like the 1;1 I also got the floor to the bed finished and just the part by the passenger compartment to cut. From here on in is a straight build from the kit. I do have all the parts which is surprising so I wont have to make anything. Thank you for the comments and looking. Next I will complete the frame and engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennb Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 The bed has been glued into the body and the seats have been cut away....Off to get it in primer. The motor has been taken apart and re glued correctly, seams filed and ready for paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brett Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 looks really good though personally I think the bed looks too short. Know and understand why its done that way but thats my thought on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
