That was a quick build! It looks great. I really, really like the exterior color, and the tinted headlights are a nice touch.

(Just one tip about posting threads, though. It's easier to follow projects if you keep everything in one thread, versus starting a new thread for each stage of a project.)

That was fast. Looks pretty amazing Dave. A wash around the doors would make it look even better.

Do you mind sharing the paint type and color you used for the exterior? Enquiring minds want to know!

That looks sweet! Now open up those lake pipes and let's hear it!

I just noticed you have frenched headlights and taillights but no frenched antenna{s}...food for thought on the next cruiser build...take a piece of small tubing and drill a hole the size of the outside of said tube, where needed, and glue that tube in place verticaly for an antenna...sand flush and paint the body and your good. Like I said...food for thought.
You rock on this shiny stuff!;)
