Dr. Cranky Posted September 12, 2011 Author Posted September 12, 2011 Working on the interior, chassis, and engine.

Dr. Cranky Posted September 12, 2011 Author Posted September 12, 2011 I think this one is coming together nicely, although I am not crazy about these mid-70s boats . . . but this new MPC rerelease is pretty good, and the bonus is the trailer, which I am using with another build . . . stay tuned in for a video . .

Dr. Cranky Posted September 12, 2011 Author Posted September 12, 2011 Thanks, Terry. No, I don't mind. I usually wash out all the rust by doing a shiny paint job every once in a while. Here's another update done outside:
