I have more progress. The engine, rear springs and rear bumper brackets are assembled to the chassis.

I love this vehicle. I built the Revell Foose version, it was a lovely kit. Yours is coming along very nicely.

Thanks, I have the rear end, rear shocks and driveshaft on. I also assembled the tires, rims and hub caps. I am using the white wall tires.

I have the front bumper brackets on. I also sprayed the cab with one coat of my "glacier blue", aka Tamiya AS-5. It may require a second coat.

That is looking great, the chassis is a show model as it is, lovely. I think mine may have moved up the 'next project queue' just a bit. Looking forward to the finish.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Dashboard and steering wheel done. I made a turn signal lever for the steering column on the opposite side of the shift lever . I used a chrome antenna for the CB radio which goes on the custom truck option I am not building.

The interior installed, the cab is on frame and now to finish with the pick up box and rear fenders. Then the hood, grill and lights.

This is some lovely work Britwit! It should be a stunner.
The past, present, and future walked into a bar. It was tense.
