Calling this one done! I'll post more photos Under Glass.

Nice work on the hinging Pat.

All goods Dann - thank for asking. Wrapping up my Datsun Pickup then I can get back to the Falcon

Here you go Drew. Just copy and paste the link in the body of the message.

Very nice Anders.

Thanks Marcos, I plan on bring it to the club meeting tomorrow.

I second that opinion on the all green version - very nice

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe this is the first "Custom" version with the incorrect Ardun parts: And this is the 2nd "Custom" version with the more accurate Ardun parts The original release has a very nice stock flathead IIRC

Steering wheel turned out great Daniel.

Thanks Ray. The lights above my work bench have a yellow tint so you aren't quite seeing the true color. I'll get some photos in natural light when it is finished. Here is the Tamiya paint sample:

Sorry Scott I got side tracked on a few other projects, should be back on this one soon.

Finished grille: :

Love the box art.

Thanks Trevor. Have the hood painted and started work on the grille. Unfortunately the kit doesn't provide clear headlight lenses so I have to find replacements.

Thanks guys' I'm happy with the color too. Engine bay:

Cab and wheels permanently installed.

My son is 19 as well. I'm sure being able to celebrate his birthday was an amazing feeling.

Then I must have chose the color well Sam. To get it any lower Bruce I would have had to "Z" the frame or some other major frame surgery trick. I lowered the suspension both front and rear several scale inches. A low profile or stretched wall tire and a smaller diameter wheel would helped lower the truck but I didn't choose the go that route.

Turned out very nice Scott.

We have color: Tamiya TS-3 Dark Yellow.

Nice looking race team Ray.

Love it!

Thanks for the comments gentlemen. A Datsun 620 pickup will be its transport.

Your long nose looks great Gary. Would be nice to have a long nose trans-kit for the Academy.

The Academy/Minicraft 250LM you mention in your article.
