Got more work done on my Wild Fire pick up truck. The doors are now permanently pinned and working great! Once the body is rubbed out and cleaned I’ll put the working door handles in. The interior is done. Next up is to finish the motor…

This year’s NNL West yearbook is a little different then previous years. I was photographing cars for Model Car magazine but it was understood that we would get to use the pictures in the yearbook as well.

OK, so I just want to say that this is a "politics free zone" NO politics allowed, no swearing, no bad mouthing' other modelers, etc. Strictly model car good times! Even if I accidentally post something bad, call me out on it and I will take it down. Model car people are some of the best people on the planet.

Working on the interior for the Wild Fire truck tonight. I pressed in some clear plastic in the foot steps just inside the cab. Used the same wood from the bed for the main floorboard. Got the seat mounted. The door panel detail is molded into the doors, so they just got paint. I like my grille insert, but I have to find (make?) the lens for the huge headlights. I don't think I'll get it done in time for NNL WEST...

Way too many projects on my workbench! I really want to get the red wagon and “Wild Fire” pick up done in time for NNL West, but it’s going to be close with me leaving in about a week!
