Hey guys, thanks a lot for all the good words. I wrapped up the rolling chassis tonight, aside from a little engine bay work yet to do. The dual exhaust is constructed from three different sources. Between the exhaust manifolds and mufflers are the stock Scout pieces. The mufflers and back are from the Monogram 66 Shelby Mustang (it's actually the front half of that exhaust, just mounted backwards), and finished off with some aluminum tubing for the tips. And some interior shots. Only mods I did was the adding of the seat backs to the front seats, and mounting the mic for the cb up on the dash. A piece of sewing thread was used for the cord for the mic. I've rounded third and am coming down home stretch on this one, hope to have her finished soon. Speaking of finishing up, when I do, is it ok to post the pics here, or do I have to post them in the finished builds section? Either is ok with me, just want to play by the rules.

Hey bogger. That interior looks real good...especially the dash. I'm amazed at the tiny painted details. Nice work.

Thanks Larry. I impressed myself with how the dash turned out. I used a small brush for the chrome, and picked out the black details with a toothpick.

Thanks Willie. Finished up the engine bay last night. I tossed in a washer bottle and master cylinder from the parts bucket, as well as building the heater box from parts bucket pieces also. I ran some 28 gauge brass wire through the heater hoses (boot material from the Preston's pre-wired distributor) to help them hold their shape.
