Don't be like me and test fit your glass early on! ?

 

Oh, and the scoop was left loose to be able to flip the front, I didnt realize it was crooked in the photos

Cool Datsun there Hien, and the glass looks OK if you squint your eyes a little.? I always test fit my builds before I do anything else, and yes, I learnt this the hard way. Well done. 

Cheers,

Very cool Lil hustler Hien, I had a 75 Lil hustler the same color but mine didn't have a blown V8 lol!

[ncbuckeye67]

Perfect color for a great looking truck!

[Mike Slapattack]

Great work!

[James2]

Splendid, I like it!

[Vettegasser]

Very cool. Have one in the works. One of my favorite kits from years past. Yea I’m old. lol

Great looking paint color and finish. The blown engine and big slicks would really get you noticed.

Nice build on a kit with terrible fit. Mine is in the box when I couldn't figure out how to get the front end to fit. Your is much bette than I achieved.

I hogged out the slots on the hinges and that seemed to help. The windshield on mines seems to have to go on top of the cowl for better fit. I'm sure if there was more glass adjustment earlier on, I would've been good. See? It's not too bad at the beginning, but note no glass and no dash. Maybe I had to cut the dash back more. I did glue the interior to the chassis first, seems like the only thing with positive mounts, then I worked forward and rearwards from there

Wow this thing looks awesome! Great job!

Super kewl looking pickup.  Looks like trouble in a small package.  Nice build.

[BK9300]

Nice build! (I'd hate to be the person that had to clean all the rubber bits of the rear, side panels after a day at the strip!)

[carrucha]

Cool build.  Nice slick paint job.

[Oldriginal86]

Reminds me of the Zingers kits from years ago.

[ChrisR]

Very nice!

[Rattlecan Dan]

Love the glass-like paint finish and color. Cool-looking truck. Nice job!

[Vettegasser]

I keep coming back to this super nice build. Wish they have put the original wheels in it the square slotted ones 

[Chinacar]

Great colour and nice paint application. Tight little truck.
