    Hi Rick
    Maybe slow and steady but looking really good. Easy to forget the scale.

        Hi Jim, Trying to figure out how to make the rifle racks........the butt cups are easy but the barrel brackets are what have me baffled. I may just cobble something out of small dia. wire and call it good. I have decided that this will be an open car, as I could not get the windscreen located where it needs to be for the top up version. Thanks for your interest. Rick H.

          Hi Paul, thanks for that.......a real PITA but in an open vehicle it is a "Must Do" item. Got a couple more items to take care of before I get the dash in and windscreen on. Rick H.

            Yesterday was a little more productive......I am still mulling over how to do the rifle racks. The windshield is just on for show, as it will be too fragile to withstand the handling required to finish up the remaining details. I replaced the tailpipe with a smaller diameter one and it looks much better. The dash is pure fantasy......just to fill the void....same goes for the soft top. Rick H.Click image for larger version

                Thank you Scottie.....I'm enjoying the build and half the fun is figuring out the materials and methods required to create something new for my collection.....I really appreciate your comments and support. :thumb2:

                    Thanks Lee, yeah.....it would look a little naked without them. When doing an open vehicle you're kind of locked in with all the interior stuff if you want it to look good. Glad you came by. Rick H.

                          Top notch work as always Rick. Hats off to you for pulling this of at such a small scale.
