Basswood I am betting, or balsa.

They sell this sheet of wood with adhesive in the back, it is very thin so what I did was use the decal sheet as a template to put these on. I had to cut out the plastic inserts on the model and then back it up with a thin piece of plastic stock so that they would look correctly indented when assembled.......

That woodwork is really impressive.

I love the color.
you swapped the wheels, did you change the engine too?

The only additions to this kit were the wood panels, everything else comes with the kit.......

Great model again...
I see speedwagon and think wagon rod...
just goes to show that you really should have good ventiation when using automotive paint...

I see you went through all the trouble of wiring the ignition, doing the wood panels, getting fantastic paint results, all in all a great near box stock build. However, I must deduct points for not removing the ejector pin mark on the bottom of the left running board.

Ok, I will take it, I look at it as constructive criticism and also that I am doing a pretty good job

Yes, please do take it as a compliment. I ended up trashing my speedwagon because of the "woody" panels. you did an outstanding job.
