If you're gonna run it hard, use .060-.100 for the structure and basic panel work, and .010-.020-.030 for the details. This one has nothing in it thicker than .030, but only because I ran out of the thicker stuff.

Some progress today:   The mis-matched door. Might do a naked door panel inside.  2-tone interior  Found a driver. The trench coat is a bonus; it'll cover up the giant trans hump.  Got started on the dash  Some detail lettering. I know it's supposed to say L T D but I'm taking artistic license. |

I am told that "pistachio" is a kind of green, rather than, as I perceived it, a kind of beige.  However, it's the sort of green that somebody, in 1972, would think looked good with gold. So it's staying. Besides, it's beige to me   There's always that one AC vent that won't stay up.  Some more paint outside  Bits added on  Door skeleton |

Last night's update: Time for a test fit:  Needs a couple tweaks but I'm pretty happy.  Put some clothes on the driver  In the immortal words of Marty Feldman, what hump?  Dash ready for detailing  Door handles, carpet, etc  And an ugly Ford steering wheel. |

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. Harry Houdini, David Copperfield, Chriss Angel. Who??? I didn't believe in magic until I started lurking around the scale crawler forums.

Meet the new grille, same as the old grille:  Doubled the number of crossbars to make it look more 72-ish.  Completed dash. I hope that warning light isn't serious.  Side glass installed. The rear ones didn't even need any glue  |
