I read somewhere that some people source styrene from local sign making shops, some even got their scrap for free. Worth a shot anyway.
Nice work for your first styrene job!

I got all of this material free from a manufacturer. Thanks for the tip!

OK quick update. I'm undecided on the roof rack. I think once I get it stained and some scale accessories in it I'll warm up to it. Maybe a canvas top.

I got the wood bed and roof racks stained and varnished. Almost done lights and emblems and it's drive time.

OK I need to thank cmbscx10 for the roof rack lights! I also finished my Welder and bed chain and a few diesel cans.

I got the oring materials in for the the windows and installed it. I took it out for a trail run last weekend and tuned a few heads lots of questions from people who have never seen a sprite. I'll have to work on a video.
