Finally finished it last night and took some photos this morning .
Just like my Little T it's done using only the original parts and the only thing I modified was the front steering . I also added a decal for the wood bed since I was missing the tonneau cover .

I've got two more of these original Monogram models to restore and I'm really looking forward to it !

I like that you went in a "original" direction with it. The shot with the L.T. is brilliant. These old Monogram kits a favorite of mine too.
