    Thanks gray07. Didn't get to the color coat. Hope to at least get it in primer. School started today and ran out of time... Tim

    Agree with the good Dr! Tim

    Fantastic engine detailing! Hate to see what all that cost, but it'll be incredible when completed! Tim

    Simply amazing! Tim

    Looks like plenty of room for a twin blade mower deck underneath. Great work! Tim

    Thanks guys! Casey, not sure what to do w/the bed. Thor had his lengthened slightly and I think had a little bit of a reverse angle. I'll play around w/things to see how they look. Also debating if I want to have a tailgate or not. I like Thor's open bed. Makes things look cleaner. Jim, not sure on color yet. Have a bunch of new acrylics to play with. I like the color I used on my 49 Ford (metallic peridot from Folk Art). Will try a few different things on the hood. Color coat should be done this morning. Tim

    Sun visor added. I think this was a front air dam from an MPC Chevy Monza. I trimmed the sides off, rounded the corners and this is what I ended up with. Tim

    The inner rear fenders that were mounted on the chassis were cut in half and glued to the backs of the rear fenders to widen them and styrene strips added to fill in. Need to clean up the edges of the old fenders on the bed and get the new ones mounted. The ride height was adjusted front and back. The front was moved up on the spindle towards the top. Rear had 6" drop blocks installed between the axle and springs. Tim

    After a bunch of trimming of the rear of the new cab, I got some styrene on the back. Rounded off the edges, marked center lines for the window. Rear window cut out. Tim

    Got the bed fitted. Then I cut the interior tub to fit. More to follow. Tim

    Been trying to figure out what to do with this 41 Plymouth. It's always been one of those love hate relationships. I loved it one day, then hated it the next. Decided to do a search here and see if I could find some inspiration and found some. Thor did a pickup conversion last year that I loved! So I decided to hack my Plymouth apart. I started by removing the rear fenders. Then hacked off the trunk. Needed to then modify the chassis to allow the bed to fit. More to follow. Tim

    Nice! Have the same kit. Want to get to it shortly. Following your build for tips/hints as I tend to jump around also. Hope all the details work out and allow things to fit. Tim

    I use white Tamiya acrylic. I mount the tire on a wheel and axle and chuck it in a cordless drill on slow. Tim

    I was also thinking Lego tires, but they aren't very rounded on the edges. Tim
