I'd be guessing yes! I think looking at the tank the plan is to drive it.

You could do the same thing under the main trim - sorta like a Buick ?
I started with nothing and still have most of it left.

Mark (minifb), the FB bits look cool and thanks to you I have them to use...cheers mate, if I get to the Nats I will have to shout you a few!! 8) 8) 8)

This is what happened today........


Trim is now fitted properly (no stuck on!)

Image


Did the scuff plates with a satin black textured finish and S/S screws

Image


Upholstered the tubs.... bit dark and hard to see............

Image


These are the wheels, rears are 14x7

Image


Stripped the FB grill (supplied by minifb), cleaned cut and shut then repainted

Image

And this is why I cut it (FB idicators from also from minifb 8) ) ........ and Bullets on the valance panel.
