German / Italian Topolino

The gas pedal seems a very odd omission, but checking the instructions on Scalemates, there really is no mention of it in the instructions. Great going, Bronco It should be easy enough to make from some plastic strip, though.

Thanks @Jakko and @Belugawrx , already on it!
Had several reference photos in my build folder, and decided to shape it out of PE sprue.
I'll have update later once the dash is in and steering column.

Hub caps will be mostly painted over

Last look at the engine...

So I made a gas pedal, then a hand brake, then why not the panel latches at both ends of the dash, then seat adjustment levers... what the heck, throwing carpet mats for free!

Nice job so far. It looks almost done.

Thanks. I'm almost done!
...actually I've had a cold going on 3 weeks, and that's really slowed me down.
That and my wanting to keep adding details!

I understand, I was in bed with whatever bug caught me for 3 days

Bonnet and wheels on, hubcaps lost their shine, but some progress, also the braces over wheel wells that will support the roof mechanisms.
Next step light sand paint over...

It's really starting to look like a car now
