Yes your right but look at the fender skirt where the steering gear sits that back panel just above it has all these bends in it yup it does have some bends in it. Looks like some serious fabrication will be needed for the fenders. Be Well Gator |

Oh yes indeed once i know the direction of the bends and shape the hard part will be making them in 1:25th scale small indeed.

Looking good so far.
On filling in the holes in the cab or chassis. I highly recommend not using filler putty, until you have filled the hole with plastic rod or pieces cut to fit and then sanded. The reason: putty shrinks, and ins not structural. If you fill a 1/8" hole with 1/8th rod .And use Tenax7R or the like. The whole has effectively been welded shut.The result after sanding and filling is much more pleasing and durable.
I like the added material around the windshield.And the back window with the screen is cool!
Be Well

Hmmm, it is looking like you have been busy fabricating. Looking good from where I sit. I am really looking forward to seeing the chassis for this one come together.
Be Well
