Gil, That looks pretty good so far  just make sure you back the pillars inside the cab with some extra styrene for strength, if you need pics look at my chino clone build

I would definately take Mike's suggestion and reinforce the crud out of the cab as it looks very delicate. | |

That is crappy to hear that they screwed up the body on you like that. I keep hearing these horror stories of USPS and UPS, but knock on wood I have not had any issues. | |

Great Job on reinforcing the half doors that is something that I didn't do. Do you plan on skimming the interior around the inside of the Half doors? This is what I did to provide the strength and reinforcement. Didn't think of what you did to help.

actually on the other door that all buttoned up already, i took the pro-weld and mixed it with the tiny plastic peices to make a paste and lined the insides. its very sturdy. i still dont know what im doing to the interior though.

the bed bob kept cracking and wouldnt stay in place because it was so flimsy. so i threw some styrene on where the camper bed used to sit. i do that on all the bruiser bodies ive messed with and it kinda grew on me. i kinda like it. anyways i smoothed it out and it looks pretty good. still need a bit more sanding though.    |

Looks great, I would suggest doing like Mike did with his clone and build it out into a toolbox. Much more functional and still will make it very sturdy. Another suggestion to take out some of the flimsyness would be to take styrene and fill in the fender/rear taillight vertical section. As this will break I am sure over time having a runner.
