Nice job on the tuck and roll interior.
Sure looks like a lot of work.

Thanks guys, I'm back onto the body again now. Just now I'm fighting with the fadeaways but the pillars are nearly finished, though I may have to add some wire to them for extra strength

Photobucket seems to be really slow tonight so I hope my pics show. I got a little done on the front end tonight and have most of the trim around the grille fitted. I cut down some half round rod and shaped it over a candle to fit the grille. I also painted the engine block in the closest brush paint I have to the body paint.   Then I got bored watching paint and glue dry so made a small guitar from some scraps that were lying about, all I can say is I'm easily distracted, lol.  |

Thanks guys, the guitar will probably end up being used as a sign when I eventually get my dio started. It's not to any scale and the same size as the front of the woody so some 3d letters might get stuck on it, sort of like the welcome to vegas sign

Started work on the engine wiring tonight, since it has 2 coil packs, one on either side of the engine, and not being distributors, I had to make some end pieces. I did this by gluing slightly bigger wire on the ends of the plug wire and squashing it flat with pliers then trimming to size. I then went to glue the wires to the coil packs only for one to ping out of the clip I was holding it in, so had to make another from some sprue with a small file. I got them done though but the end plugs are possibly too big.  |

Cheers guys! I noticed a flaw in the woody body when I was adding the second fadeaway tonight. The passenger side rear fender seems to have the moulding/ridge lower. I'll get some pics in the morning once the glue had dried and I remover the many clamps holding it in place

Well I forgot to take a pic of the difference between sides before adding the filler. Just a little more rubbing down off this layer then I can do a final fill. The wheels aren't the ones I'll be using, but they do show how the stance will be.   |

I really like the profile of the body Stitch. All of your sanding and hard work is really paying off now.
Great detailing on your engine as well.
