I opened the topper windows alittle more cause they was a tad small! not bad considering i started with a piece of flat sheet stock........ Opened up the doors and hinged them....(havin trouble finding the right wire so i picked up some smaller stuff, should work ok once i get some paint build up on them LOL), The topper is from the re-issue 80s ford bronco, thats been reworked alittle LOL................... The topper lines i put back in also.........still long ways to go.......... I removed the saddle gas tank and will be moving it to the back (once i find a suitable one) I have it up three wheels LOL need to locate one wheel back.......      |

thanks Alex and Bob! its getting there, I have the engine almost done.the block and trans came from the MPC Chevy Kit Sod Buster, then i used parts from the revell 1969 Nova SS kit (Intake,Aircleaner Starter) and the timming cover forward is from a 1968 Elcamino kit with A/C..
Now the problem is the A/C Pump will be on the wrong side...but i think it will be ok...just need to run the Plug wires thru out....will try and grab pictures later tonight....I do have the body all polished out and started the details on the doors....more on that later also...

Just now got the color on the hood, Will clear it tomorrow once the gloss black cures alittle more....
I am upstairs in the shop at the moment so i havent been able to grab any pics......
Also grabbed a rear seat from a '72 Blazer and looks to be very very close to what i need it for in this build......
The back of the blazer where the pickup box lines show will be hiddin once i get a replacement kit coming, then i have some carpet i can cut to fit.....so it should look fairly good...
Well thats enough for now.....Keep checkin back as i will update pics.....
