73 Bronco
Well here she is, nearly finished. I just need to get all the lights hooked up and go running in the sand.
I think I managed to make this one look a bit different and hopefully better than a stock lexan build. See if you can pick out the subtle and not so subtle modifications. It should perform really well with my custom chassis setup. We'll know soon.
Here are a few poser pics in the driveway.

Wow, this is great! I have a thread going in the forums about how I get bored with Lexan bodies, but this is the way to do it! I do see many little details you've added. the wipers, antennas, door handles?, Rear cab hinges, etc. Interior adds great touch as well. Really nice work and you've got me wanting a Bronco body for my CC01s...

Great looking rig Norm, my parents had a 69 in that color. I agree about the body I find these Tamiya CC lexan shells look just as good as any hard body if you finish them carefully...and they look much better after you run them and have an accident no unsightly white plastic to touch up every night

NORM! Are you sure thats a lexan body? That grill is off the chain. Love all the marker lights, mirrors, even that antena is cool. An absolute masterpiece. But one would expect no less from you!

Very nice build and very scale, makes me want to climb in and drive it around a bit! Good work.

All the small details make a big difference for those that know what to look for
it's been great watching the build progress. I can't wait to see it running.

Excellent job. This looks amazing, one of the best scale trucks using a lexan shell. You pulled this one off.

Awesome - awesome - awesome!! Every pic looks like the 1:1. The scale detail puts it straight into my favorites and will serve as inspiration for my F-350. Great work!

One more question, did you really paint this on the outside?

Thanks much friends - great comments.
@Scottoman - I here you on the lexan bodies. I just thought this one had some promise, and I did paint it on the outside. I don't really care for that shiny look, plus I had to, because of the detail I added like the door window framing I did in styrene strips.
I really liked the chrome grill, so I decided to go with matching chrome wheels which worked out pretty good. I'm glad you all like this one.
