Hey, that's coming along nice.  I like that 41 Dodge truck, it reminds me of my cousins 47 except he doesn't have the correct bed on it (http://picasaweb.google.com/peterroshouse/EndOfWorld08#5243510520986777618)

What is the wire/loop stuff in the picture of the chassis.  It kinda looks like brake/fuel lines but not quite.

Wow!  Great job on the interior and the center caps!  :thumbsup:

The blue I used looks different than the blue on your panels.  Your color is probably correct, not mine.  :bricks1:  Mine doesn't look as metallic.

I went by the inside part of the panel to match the paint.  I don't know what the originals looked like.  :dunno:
