Finally fiqured out was i was gone use for the XLT side trim.
Using .080 Half rounds i sanded the round area flat then did the same for the sides....... tricky but managed....probly not 100% correct, But with BMF on dont know if anyone would notice.........

here ya go sizing up the side trim and cutting to length

A sharp looking color combination and some very nice craftsmanship always goes a long way in my book. Way to go! ;D

[olskoolrodder]

Looking sweet MJ! ;D

Wow, its turning out great Mike. Can't wait to see the finished motor.
Are those air valves on the wheels? Cool!

looking good If you would have done the top a little darker it would look like my 1:1 79

Great job on your re-build ! Is the grill from the kit or a resin piece ? I've heard of some one who makes the 76-77 grills for the Model King 1979 F-350 kit. Again-Great Job !
