Hey there Jim.   Ha, glad we "woke" you up?

Came out very cool, great job??          Mines' waiting in the box. I'm thinking I want to do what you did with the hood but just a bit reluctant for fear of messing it up.

Honestly, it’s pretty easy - just scribe the hood off carefully (especially if you want to use it, which I didn’t) and then put some strips of styrene in behind the fenders when you reattach them to the body so you have some good gluing surfaces!  Nothin’ much to it! ????

I guess I didn't realize its hoodless?

I’m saving the hood to make a boat-tail hot rod of some sort ?

The Willy's pickup is looking good.  I may have to get me one if HL is still carrying them.
