Nice progress on this! 

In addition to all of the features you pointed out, I like the slider windows on the rear side door. They look operable. Is this something you came up with or is it in the kit?

David G.

the kit actually came with a sheet of plastic and a template to cut out the whole side windows, not in halves or with the trim divider. I created new templates, the divider bar and set the door windows partially opened. I am putting decals all over the back windows so don't want them open in this case.

I couldn’t stand the thick ugly antenna mast so I made a new one from an insect pin. 

added surfer decals to the back windows.

just 2K cleared the surfboard.

Thank You! Top studio rivets show at LAX in customs. If I get them this next week I should be able to complete this build finally. ?

Some of them came with the kit the other I printed. Did a google search for vintage surfer decals. I put the San Diego one prominently on the back window because I head that way every year for the Wavecrest Woody Show.

The rivets I need to complete the wood trim arrived today and I was able to complete the build. I still need to do some touch ups and final clean and polish before taking pictures for an under glass thread but this build has been a long road. I have already started on my next build while I was waiting on supplies, a 1967 Mustang GTA Convertible.

Thank you for everyone's feedback and encouragement. I posted images of the final to Under glass. Please feel free to look at them here.

This build just looks so right the way you finished it.

Thank You! took me a little longer than normal, but that was partly from pulling a tendon in my left thumb. I think it turned out well though.
