That looks great and it's another model that we rarely see built, nice job!

Nice job and a rarely seen built model, cool!

Here's how much I had to take off those rear fenders. With the '50 Chevy front end grafted on, you can see why I wanted these fenders over the Ford ones! I had to make more "wood" as these fenders are smaller than the originals. Also the doors are the length of the '48 Ford coupe, as originally I was going to make it a 2 door Ford woody, now it's a, um, well, I'm not really sure what it is! It IS fun!

I wanted to use the rear fenders from the '50 Chev pickup, but of course they're way too wide, so they got sliced! Then the splash guard "kink" had to be smoothed. The "wood" around the fenders was attached to the fenders!

Here's the basic 2 door design, with the Ford fenders.

Thanks everyone, especially Tom for the bench seat idea, I really like it AND I'm using it again for a phantom '50 Suburban "Woody" I'm working on now, for the second row seat.

Looks cool, I love it so far!

I think the stance is perfect now! Also love those rims not chromed. COOL!

That's a crazy idea, that's why I love it! Oh, but I'm not your driver, hey, I'm going to be enjoying the build though, step by step! CAR-A-ZEEEE

Fantastic model, I love it and wish there was a kit of that and the wagon version. Very cool!!!

Excellent work Alex, those doors are so cool.

Lookin' good, very kewl!

Very cool project, I'm diggin' it!

I'm really diggin' the new tires and '40 dash and steering wheel, cool man!

Many years ago my friend Jerry was building one in 1/25th scale. I don't think he ever finished it though. Looks pretty cool!

Beautiful color and your work on it looks so neat and clean, I love it!

This is a cool project, and it's looking good so far. Nice idea with the tail gate, is it dry yet??? I wanna see it!

Scout almost finished, outdoor lighting makes it look better.

They are very nice kits, while there may be some inaccuracies, parts are clean and crisp. I built mine as a hot rod, so nothing bothered me. Interior is easily detailed to look really good! And the trunk is easy to open. New decal sheet and wood side trim is the only difference from the original, which can be added or ignored, they're totally separate, I "ignored" mine.

Yeah that Caddy does look good, and something John T. would build, if he didn't build that! The roof and coves are nicely integrated, dual rear axles, meh. The GTO is not so good, no not good at all! My opinions only, others may vary!

Michael, I install those little wires before assembly, then try to keep them out of the way during test fits, but finally once I actually marry the chassis to the body, they get tucked into wherever I wanted them to go. They are tiny and do require paint touch ups once things are together, so when I finally have all the stuff together, I go in an touch up everything, it's not easy for me to keep things neat and clean during assembly. This hasn't been done yet to my Scout. I'm building this not as a factory original, but one that maybe was once discarded, discovered and rescued, using available parts, as so many of the real ones were saved.

I like what I see so far!

Cool! And black on black sure looks sweet!

Oh man, this is so cool, I love your scratch building! And those lines and clamps look so real!

I started adding things underhood. Still need to scratch build (SB) a hood latch, throttle linkage, and a few other small goodies. Then I can clean up all the errant paint and add a bit of "grime":
