Hey Raymond:

Haven't built one of those in years. Good luck with your build.

Thanks Karl!

Getting back at it, I cut the floor, seat bottom, hand brake and shifter off the sprue and cleaned them up. The pieces were glued to the floor to make up the 1st sub assembly.

The cowl/windshield part was then removed and cleaned up. I also removed the dashboard, steering shaft and steering wheel were removed and cleaned up to remove flash. The hole in the dash was drilled out for the steering shaft before installation to the cowl. the steering wheel was also attached to each other. EDIT: If you plan on using the supplied clear styrene for the windshield, now is the time to cut it to fit the windshield after painting!

[Raymo]

The steering shaft and wheel were attached to the dash. The pictures do get better at some point..

[Raymo]

The cab sides and back wall were next to get cleaned up.

[Raymo]

The cab assembled. Although I didn't photograph it, I also attached the seat back to the inside of the cab at this point.

The pickup bed and tailgate.

Once again, I apologize for the photos. Still a learning curve with a new camera. The roof and vizor were next to be cleaned up. The roof was attached 1st, then the vizor after the roof set up. EDIT: If using the clear styrene windshield I would leave the roof off till after painting to allow access to the interior.

[Raymo]

The directions show the license plate and light attached to the bed support on the L/R. I decided to mount it to the rear fender.

[Raymo]

The 5 pieces that make up the hood and grille before cleaning up the flash. Notice the louvers on the hood side, they should favor the back end of the engine compartment.

[Raymo]

And 1 completed hood assembly

Then the cab and hood were glued together

Up next we'll work on the chassis.
