Looks awesome so far.  Thanks for the weathering tips!

The fit of the glass on these kits is poor to say the least.  On the last one did I added some small plastic stripes around the opening that would look like the black rubber moldings on the 1:1 and that seemed to offer just enough to fill the gap and give a gluing surface for the window.  

I just recently did the 55 Cameo Coke edition, the glass fit perfectly. The fit was so good, I barely used any white glue to hold it in. I think Round2 must have fixed the molds, or I got really lucky. 

The bed is still a pain in the rear, but the glass fits great.

Good to know. I definitely want to build another of these… someday, not soon though!

Today I accomplished: finished the wheel and tire weathering (except for one hubcap that I need to fill up a bit more), started weathering the engine, and did some weathering to the bed floor, box tub, and tailgate. I think I forgot the “less is more” mantra and the model is a bit more weathered than I intended, but it’s still good.

I appreciate everyone taking interest in this project.
