Looks great, but I think your cowl needs to blend in with the hood a bit more to match the 1.1, just trying to help

I'm not sure but there sure is alot of screws. lol

It looks great so far. I vote for a trail bar instead of a stinger though.

I agree. I was planning on that but wanted to wait until the glue was set up first. Please don't ever be afraid to voice your opinion, at least in any of my build threads! I may not agree with you on something but you will never offend me. Thank you for following!

No. No trail bar. I'm doing my best to duplicate the real thing! :-)
And thank you for the compliment! I'm actually very happy with the way it's coming along!

Looks good Jesse. The Cat's out of the bag. Keep rockin' with this and don't rush it. When you think you're cutting a corner...stop yourself and do it right, this is a REALLY cool build to take on and if you can pull it off, it will be a stunner!

Only criticism, take some pictures during the day. I know you've got work to do, but the forum loves pictures. Dark photos from your sleeper (I presume) don't do the fabrication work justice. And I think it goes without saying...put that bad boy in a box during transit!

Wow, this is a great lookin' build so far. Keep up all the hard work.
One thing I did notice is that you put more screws on the front fender then what is on the 1:1. Just pointing out a little detail. I love the look and can't wait to see the final product.

Rock on.

Well, I started out with the same number as the real one but it just didn't look right to my eyes. So I added some. Lol!

Ok everyone, this is the last update for at least a couple of days. Time to make some money! I still have to figure out the vents on the sides of the hood but other than that, the front clip is done! Oh! And before anyone gives me crap for sanding the hood latches off, I ordered a kit from Krawler Konceptz that has more realistic looking latches and door handles! :-)
