Finally getting some decent weather. I miss Georgia, I could paint year round there and I had a modeling room that was air conditioned. Here in Indiana I’m working in the garage without any climate control. I bent up the main hoop for the roll bar, located some seats from a Johan Sox & Martin Cuda, which match the reference photos I have. I also moved the dashboard back on the side panels for a better look. I scratch built the package shelf. I painted the body Model Master classic white. I used my paint booth for the first time and I’m pleased with the results. I did get a few dust specks but nothing that can’t be corrected.

Thanks Francis. I to, have a lot of projects I’d like to complete. I recently acquired another MPC 72 Duster pro stock, it’s the Akron Arlen version, that I would like to do similar to my California Flash, only this time using the AMT Duster kit for the chassis. I also have a rare Revell 69 Mustang Coupe, and an original AMT 67 Ford Fairlane that I would like to build into Super Stockers. I need to quit my job…….

I’ve relocated twice in the last 8 years, I hope it goes well with you! -
Wow, it’s been hard to get some bench time. I’ve been working on the interior, the Rambler American S/C doner kits interior was too narrow. I cut the side panels from the floor and added .020 styrene strips to the floor. A test fit showed the width to be good but it’s too tall. I’ll need to trim the sides down. I added patch panels to the interior side Quarter panels. I also added subframe connectors to the chassis.

I like it! I never understood why AMT made it a dual axle. Looks so much better as a single. -

Beautiful work Riley, your build is similar to what I built back in 1987. I think your doing a much better job though. -
That is so COOL! Very nice!

Thanks Edgar and Scott, it was a lot easier than I thought it would be, and turned out better than I thought it would.
