I need one for a 34 chev pickup and a 34 Master coupe. The pickup may be the same as a standard car but I don't have anything to go by, just have bodies. Thank you.

Beyond that, break the project up into smaller tasks that can be accomplished in short time. Also, always work a minimum of 5 minutes per day on the truck, the ambition will build from there.
