Work over the body started last night.

Yeah i kind of gave up on mine after i dropped it... Haha but yours is looking sick! You should do two of them almost identical and do one in "Negative" and one in "Postive" like a picture 
like an all white one with black wheels and an all black one with white wheels and such then put them side by side with some sort of picture scheme... Idk thats just the first thing that came to mind lol

Update:
Here is a thing Ive never tried. I cut the T-tops to make them removable and functional. I had the guts to try it since I have another body around to use in case I managed to damage this one. Now I need to fabricate the structure under the T-tops to add realism and support. Notice the very thin upper windshield area which correlates to the 1:1 weatherstrip. I consider a miracle I was able to cut without slashing through it!

Looking good. EDITED ha Pin head worked out nicely!
What did you use to remove the t-tops? The lines are very straight.
Can't wait to see the finished product.

your welcome for the wheels. I stopped building a few months ago and sold over 600 unbuilt kits. I figured since I wouldnt use them, I'd send them to somebody who would.
Nice job on the ttops, the fit about as well as the real ones, which makes your model very accurate
Here's a few kits I built before I quit.
