| Thanks man! Heres an update for today, it was detail time wich is always fun, i got pretty much everything mounted, only a few more things to do on the cab. Tomorrow i will try to mount the windshields, dont think im gonna run the side windows but havent decided yet. I have to cut new ones becuse the ones that came with the kit are to thick for what i have planned, hope it works out, its gonna be a pita! :-P Got to have the BMX mags in there! |

when I saw those first posts of flat sheets of patterns I was skeptical, but wow this is one clean looking build, great job. |

Even though its a kit it has taken quite some time to finish it, it has not been on the backburner either, but im kind of a slow builder but it have turned out really good this far. Thanks! BMX for sure, sweden sucks to be a bmx:er in tho due to all the snow at winter time and hardley no indoor skateparks, i got one like 45min away but it sucks to drive over there all the time. Got one closer but it really sucks for bmx, i think the skaters did that on purpose! Cant wait till spring comes around so i can learn all the stuff i learnd last year! | |

| That sucks! Today i mounted the windshields which was a total pita!! I usually have good patience but this almost had me, a lot of swearing and cursing went down! After all i had them mounted and it turned out really good, there is some ca residue on one of the windows but i will remove it later on. The rubber sealing really makes it look more real. |

What did you use for the rubber sealing?

What a stunning build this is! What do you use to print those magazines and gauges? Just a normal printer? What kind of paper do you print on? |

| Its scale rubber sealing they use in scale airplanes, its from a swedish site, but made by Jamara. Quote:
Just regular white A4 vinyl paper with my computer printer, canon MP600. The gauges are from http://www.customcuts.de/epages/62132212.sf | |

Hehe, thx! Painted the tire carrier today, also did a quick mock up on the front coils, need much stiffer springs tho, but thats about what it will look like with some coil buckets of course. | |

this is really looking good, i'm glad you went with black windshield wipers instead of the chrome. inside detail is very nice i like the spare tire rack |

What is the wheel base on this thing? How much space is there between the rear tires? How long is the frame? I didn't see this info in the thread and I am curious! Drunk |
