to make it easier too bad you didnt have a extra body. you could cut the piece you need to mend together. If i wasnt trying to restore my blackfoot i would let you hack my truck up. none the less looking good.

 Actually close up pics would make a grown man cry, first time using styrene..I moved the bed because im not a skilled hobyist that can make a extra cab. ( I have the glass for this one) And its really not that long, its on a honcho frame. I didnt realise when i ordered that the wheelbase of the Bigfoot was so much shorter.
