That looks like it is taking shape rather nicely and a neat project.

Karlos59, this is one very cool little project and thanks for the posts and pics. It looks like a baby MRAP.

Thanks guys for the comments. I would have liked to build a Replica German SdKfz 222/223 but I decided this would be too hard with the limited facilities I had plus I wanted to be as accurate as possible in regards to motor position front in a 64 and rear in a 222/223
