I've seen those gorgeous Riviera front fenders adapted to the '67 era Caddys, and man that looks cool!

Yeah, just sand around the perimeter of the rad, and if necessary, sand the inside opening of the grill shell, make the shell go back as far as you need by it sliding over the rad. This is my '29 with the '32 shell. I've got the rad so far into the shell that I had to make a "neck" for the rad cap!

Yes, that Travel All is looking fantastic and I'd sure like one!

Yeah I sure wish there was a kit of the FJ40, although not actually an FJ40, I did manage to build this ESCI curbside a few years ago. I even photoshopped "us" into the last pic!

Wow! I may have to do another Scout! I had 3 of them "back in the day", real ones that is!

Wow, your's is WAY more detailed and correct than mine! In fact, I think you must be crazy!!! HA HA, in a good way of course! I am in awe of your attention to detail!

I've never tackled an MFH build, and I've heard that they are very difficult, you're seeing that as well, but all that extra effort is paying off nicely. When done right, like yours, MFH kits end up looking amazing! Yes yours looks AMAZING!

I can only add to the admiration by others, those are very realistic models and great photography!

Ha ha, yes, that and my preferred beverage from down under!

Wow all that inner structure looks so great, awesome work!

That looks so cool so far! Great creative mind, and the building skills to make it happen!

Love the way you've managed to make it look!

Man I read every post, this thing is amazing! As crazy as it is, I love it! (getting lost in model building and losing track of time is one of my favorite part of the hobby too)

Oh yeah, that is so cool! Great work so far, keep it going! I see ONE side of the bed shortened, I hope you've got the other side to match. LOL Great frame too!

Yes, the fabulous Tamiya kit, I cut open the doors.

Wow, I sure hope you'll be selling those rims? All the stuff you have already looks great, love that Hot Rod!

Love the weathering!

I like that couple design, why not have a molded on "bump" on the rear lid, sort of like the '59 Imperial? Just a thought, I think that was done on some coachbuilt cars of the 30s.

Love your engine! The spider kit doesn't have full engine detail, because of the small opening for the spider, not much of the engine shows.

I think MotoMaster is the old name of Duplicolor.

I've started making some of the "stuff" for under the hood, the kit has nothing for that. I hollowed out the underside of the air intake, then added a bottom. I drilled out a battery (kit does have one, I like this one more) and added details Also added a radiator, but I had to cut the rad wall because the kit rad was molded in, now I have a separate rad. I scratch built a heater. So here are some of the parts I intend to add under the hood to fill it out a bit better. (again though my stuff is NOT totally accurate, I just like the look)

Cool! I already made my own heater and other "stuff" but it's cool to see new stuff for Scouts! What else are you planning to make for the Scout?

Ya gotta admit, that's a pretty poor represtation of the inside of the tailgate! So I cut the sides off and started to make my own. (not totally accurate, but way better)

I added styrene to make the floor pan fit closer to the body. Then I covered the rear area with a thin sheet. I glued evenly spaced strips on to simulate a corrugated sheet metal floor. (not correct for a Scout, but I like it) With the other parts sitting on, it looks acceptable, for now.
