I received my F160 bodylast week after a record breaking short shipping to Germany
As vintage bodies are rare I want to share Manny's creation while building it. Today I would like to show the first steps trimming the body and checking how the parts fit together:
This is how the parts arrive (forgot to add the nosecone).
