Thanks Bruce....Yea...I am showing the W.I.P. on 4 forums in total..to include this one. I started it on here and I'll probably finish it here. As far as the other forum I think you might be thinking of...I'm to far into the build to post. Maybe the next build....

Here's an update....The dash and Gauges have been fabbed. Still need to do the three toggle switches. The front shock mounts have also been fabbed and are in the basic shapes in the pics. I will let them set for a day or so and then file them to shape. The seat is also in it's position along with the shifter. Here are a few pics...Thanks for looking in...

Thanks again Bruce....
Here's an update on some of the small stuff that takes time to figure out and build. A battery Box was fabbed along with padding and rib bolsters on the seat. The seat will be covered in a black fabric so it won't be so shinny. A fire extinguisher was sourced from a parts box but had to be modified to a hand held type. The brake master cylinder was also sourced from the 34 ford kit and the fluid reservoir had to be fabbed...here are a few pics to look at...thanks for looking in folks....

Absolutely amazing work. I have a few large scale kits that I plan to do some scratch building on but not to the extent you took this one to. Great work cant wait to see more updates. And btw Gary thanks for pointing me over here from Scaleautomag.com

Thanks for the Comps guys...Hey crash...you're very welcome. Looking forward to seeing your Lrg. scale build.
Well...it's body putty and priming time. I'm pondering on the trunk lid hinging system. When I get that figured out...it's color time...

For the trunk couldnt you basically enlarge the same concept most guys do for the doors on the 1/24 scale builds?

That is one way I was looking at. But...My neighbor, who runs a 35 dodge 5 window coupe in the N.W. Vintage Modified class...uses two butt hinges on his trunk lid. I just happen to have a set that will work. I think I'm going with those.

Life size cars to use as a reference totally help. Now if only they made a 77 ford super cab short box so I can replicate my truck.
