Door panels are re-created in brass with leather [door handles and rivets will be added]and the dash pad is also fabricated out of leather. The door panels and dash pad from the kit are deleted.

The door panels have been re-created in leather.



The rivets and door handles are installed. The out side door handles and bonnet latch are also installed.



And then checked again for final fit.

Details...details...details!

The side trim provided in the kit was too wide/tall so I fabricated it to the correct dimension. A few more minor details like the wipers and rear view mirror/bracket and this is complete. More photos Monday ;)

Bravo Peter - possibly some of your finest work yet!

I only wish I was in a position to have this one for myself...

Thanks Jono...It felt pretty good when I got to the photo stage ;)

Look over at the 1/12 GTO...it will be an exciting model when it's all done.
