Thanks Mike! I sure hope I'm off of work that weekend to make it. If I am, I'm definitely bringing it and working on some more to bring with it as well.

 Keeping my fingers crossed to get to make it.

If you do go, be sure to bring your extra lunch money, the swap area is usually packed and deals can be found! I am hopeful to be there with a table to continue the sell off of my extra kits.

For sure! Still plan on getting those kits from you that we've talked about. I had to stop buying at the hope it don't snow show, lol. Spent too much.

Well, I didn’t realize it has been this long since I put this one on the back burner lol. 
 

I just finished a super detailed Skyline build and wanted to try to finish this one up before an upcoming show on the 18th. There’s not much left to be finished. I had to build a smooth firewall and I have to repaint the hood and engine cover, as well as make a floor pan. 
 

But here is a quick fit of everything as it sits now.

Thanks JC I should be able to get this thing wrapped up within the next week.  Should have never put it on the back burner. It was pissing me off though, lol.

I just went back and reviewed your build from the start. Beautiful looking truck and I like all the body corrections you did along with the interior modifications.

Sometimes we need to step away from a project for a bit. Glad to see you back to work on it Scott

That is true.  I try not to, as I fear I'll never get the notion to finish them, lol.

Thank you Oliver.. I hope I can get it finished up this time, lol.

Update, lol. I got the hood, smooth firewall, floor pan, and engine cover sprayed in mica silver and then sprayed the clear orange over them this evening. 
 

I haven’t sprayed this color in 2 years..but I think it matches pretty closely. Tomorrow I hope to be able to start gluing body parts into the chassis. Then it will be almost done!

Finally finished with this one. It is posted under glass.
