I ordered another cab and a few things from rpp so i hope to get that stuff next week, then at the end of the month i will start up on this rig.

Im thinking of #4 now, full built like mike and have the doors open and close, and have 2 sets of doors like marlins 1:1 (full doors and half doors)

i prolly won't the spacing between the leafs is off by about 1/2 inch, thats alot in scale about 4.5 in real life..

but to compinsate for that im going to do a full interior, removable doors 2 sets like the 1:1 and a fully detailed engine bay, also mike and marlin rigs will have a fully scale frame just like the 1:1's...   :)

i added about .875 or 7/8 inch, i should have added .91 but thats close enough :smack: thats only just a bit over 1/32 off so its not the end of the world... :biggthumpup:
