Morn Rick (or late night there),

A fine job you are doing here Sir. The scribed doors look fantastic even without handles!!! I love the way you scratched this together and the results you achieve on something so small.

Now get down to the local True Value hardware store and get a can of Rustoleum for the roof rust and side rust by the doors.........

Prost
Allen

Thanks Scottie, once the side doors are completed I'll need to focus on getting the roof side trim on and also the hitch located for the trailer. Thank the gods I don't have to modify it also. After that it will be just a matter of adding the remaining detail parts and it's off to the paint booth. Cheers, Rick H.

So far so good. The doors are finished except for a little clean up......hitch has been located and installed and I have one side of the roof trim on and drying. Side two will go on tomorrow after this one has set up. Starting to shape up, hope you like it. Rick H.P1011410.JPGP1011409.JPGP1011411.JPG
