Like Jim said, that a good color for the pickup.  I love the firewall you made.  Can you show us a pic of what you actually use to make it?

It's been a long while since I was able to work on this last, but I do have an update to share. The windshield and frame that come with this kit are pretty crude. I wondered for a while, what I could use in Its place. Then I had a flash, and tried the Monogram 32 Roadster frame in place. With a little grinding inside the stanchions, and a spacer on top of the cowl (just like real Deuces), the Monogram frame fits like a charm.

Looks much better than the kit frame. I picked up a bag of junk parts from the last Kustom Kemps In Miniature meet last fall, and it had this seat, which looks like a perfect fit. This way, I can cut the molded in seat out, and paint it separately from the body. Any idea what it's from?

Til next time - hopefully sooner than later....

Love the new windshield frame!! And that purple pearl paint color is spectacular, should you still be planning to go that route.

The new bench seat looks like the rear seat from a Monogram '30 Touring?
