Very nice build. Great detailing!

Awesome job!

Nice!

I like it as well. I was recently reading about how the individual panels on a plane vary in color and I see where you did that. Well done!

Nice job!

Impressive detail! I love it!

Very nice job! Elegant!

Welcome Eddie!

I've gotten to the point where I go online and look for reviews if i can find them, or pics if I can't. If its a kit I really need and there's no option I'll buy it with the knowledge of what I need to do, or settle for. I'm 63 and do have memories of the old kits, but I don't care for them.

Well done build. I like the little accessories, and the body weathering looks appropriate.

Nice concept! Lots of great bodywork there.

I try to find something in every modelers build. If I can't find anything, I won't comment. I do see the issue of praise to a very flawed build as false support, but it doesn't bother me either. Sometimes I'll go into a profile to see if its a young person, or they mention a health issue to determine my response. My signature indicates I want constructive feedback. I'm trying to improve my skills. However that's me and I don't impose my standards on others. We are here to have fun, remember!

Nice project!

Impressive work! I love the extra little details.

Looks awesome! Well done!

Nice work! Very smooth lines!

Thanks Ed. This one is kind of in fits & starts as well. Like now the issue is the headers. I've prototyped a couple sets but each time room is an issue. I think I'll get back to it next week though. Feel free to post any progress you've made on yours.

Nice detail!!

Good job! The taillights are a nice touch!

They must be expanding. I see that a new one is opening up a tad closer to me than my regular one. Only a mile and a half difference but it avoids some construction.

Good stuff!

Another side of the box says that it's a 1960 Chevy panel truck.

Thanks for the input guys. I'm surprised I didn't get a notification that new content was posted. Sorry for the lack of reply. Anyway, I've done a little bit of work. I would have posted sooner but i was looking at how the headers were going to fit and thinking about it left me in a corner in the fetal position. I can either sweep them back, but it's tight in there, or do like the 1:1 and run the two front pipes over the crossmember. That however would require me to install the engine first, then try to fit the pipes, again like the 1:1. Anyway, here's how things look. The hood is a shade darker than the body because I had to use a sealer over the resin because some features showed through. I'll have to hit it again and hope it matches better. I still haven't sorted out the interior but the roll bar is in. I think I might have to try to wash out the embossing powder and start over if I can, using another adhesive. Thanks for looking.

Thanks Roger, I'll do some testing on an old body. I got the gold, I just need to order the yellow.

There is some very thin styrene strip available. I've used it myself but can't find pics. I think it would work.
