thats the life of a scratchbuilder, some parts may get built munerous times just so it looks right. Hell just taking your time with it will create a badass piece like your doin up. ;)

Thanks for the comments bro's

progress update

Test fitted body to frame and discovered a few issue's, and had to add an extension to the lower edge of body




Adding the extension caused a step in the panels so i used some epoxy putty to fill the step


Sanded,blend and smoothed the putty,also wanted to reshaped the wheel arch


More sanding and blending,also added extension to the front and rescribe lower half of door lines

And here's a quick mock up of how it looks so far










In the pic above do you Guys reckon i should make the wheel arch/openings smaller ? i think the front ones are to wide ?
Also any colour suggestions ?

Here is a pic of what it looked like before the mods
