The holes rusted through the hood really look good as does the whole model!

Welcome back James..startin to think you went and got a life or something. Always nice to see your builds here and this one is no different. Reminds me of a friends car in his garage...all your missing is the wife on the side tapping her foot with her arms crossed and that "how long is this gonna sit in our garage like this" look!
Very nicely done!

...and don't tell yourself you can't do it....it'll just take longer then

You've really nailed it James. Looks way better than some of the stuff in the model magazines. The worn off tread on the tires is great.
