Not as of yet, Comp season/summer tends to put a damper on the scaler end of things for me. We have a 5 week break coming up after this sunday, I intend to get back at this thing during our break. I plan on having it to the roller stage in a few weeks. Interior, paint and the minor things are all that's left on it.........

Will update soon

First post 9.75 - 10"

Kind of funny this thread came back to life, I was just going to go in and post on it when it was on top.... I guess I need to seriously get my azz in gear on it now!

Just a quick update. Body is ready for wet sanding and paint this week, and for the interior to be fitted....




The wheels and tires are just for mock up, I've decided to go with RC4WD Landy wheels and Prowler tires. EtypeR has me talked into the light yellow for the color.

Finally some good progress!



and some color .... Model Masters Insignia White and Insignia Yellow mix


The camera doesn't get the color anywhere close to what it is, it's a tad bit more yellow than it shows. But I think I hit the color I wanted. It is right between the top color (RAL1015), and the 3rd color (RAL101.


I'm going to let it set up for a day or two and shoot the bed black and get the interior and door panels glued in... more to come......
