Well, I guess a good thing this contest has all year to complete. Too bad for the home obligations.
I just ordered a few more pieces photo etch from Detail Master and model car garage. This build will definitely be pushing my skills. I've never worked with photo etch parts before, except the grille that came with my Big John Mazmanian Willys. I have a good set of cutters and files. Hope this little adventure looks good in the end.
