What's the body from, Dave?

It looks like hinges on the inside and out, but the doors don't appear to be cut out.

[comp1839]

i don't know where the body's from, ted. it was a gift from another modeller who wanted to help out. i didn't get a complete kit so i have no idea.

the doors were molded with a very thin amount of plastic holding them in place to the body. same with the trunk lid. you can very easily open the doors up to make them work. this car will not have operating doors. if you look at the chassis, opening doors would be useless anyway.

i had some time today to make the rear brake rotors and detail the rear a little more.

also made a new pinion support.

Awesome work as usual Dave.
