Metalmad Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 Another small update & pictures will be coming soon ! Started cleaning up the flash on the front end parts & did not realize how much time it really takes to clean up these little parts but it will be well worth it in the end. I also took a stab at assembling a Detail Master racing wheel that I had in my parts stash which took a little bit longer than I thought it would since it fought me a little going together but looks ok. So till next time Keep On Building ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metalmad Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) Here are the pictures of the Detail Master racing steering wheel that I have assembled & my first attempt at scratch building a hinge for the trunk. I still need to clean up the area where I have attached the sleeves to the underside of the trunk for the hinge and then I will paint the underside of the trunk before I airbrush the color of the outside of the trunk plus I have filled in the rear bottom of the valance where the factory exhaust was suppose to be run out the back. Thats all for now but more updates will be coming soon ! Edited November 4, 2014 by Metalmad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalmad Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 Small update, I'm in the process of reworking the front bumper that will be painted the same color as the body, got the gas, clutch and brake pedals painted and also have the Nos bottle painted. Worked on some speakers that will be installed in the interior & have them painted & also have gotten the starter painted & will install soon. I also have found a electric fan in the extra parts box & also have made modifications to it so it installs smoothly & have it painted but will still need some black wash paint to detail it then add the wiring to it.

Metalmad Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 Another little update, Started flocking the interior today which it doesn't look to good since I'm only doing the areas that will be seen & I also started detailing the dash so when I get the decals I ordered all I will have to do is install the decals & also started working on the shifter install.

Metalmad Posted November 11, 2014 Author Share Posted November 11, 2014 Thank you Art ! Well tonight I will apply the decals to the NOS Bottle since I got them in the mail today & I must say Ted's Modeling Market Place has very good service & I would recommend them to everyone.

Metalmad Posted November 11, 2014 Author Share Posted November 11, 2014 Small update, I have applied the NOS decal to the bottle so I will let it cure over night then tomorrow shoot a little clear over it. I also started the detail on the dash & door panels & center console with some brown to simulate wood & leather but not sure how it will turn out but I'm hoping for the best. Will have pictures up soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metalmad Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) Small update, Decals applied on the painted NOS bottle & cleared today and I will add the knob, brackets & braided line after the clear has cured & I also worked on detailing the dash & will share pictures of the dash when It is finished. Thanks for looking ! Edited November 12, 2014 by Metalmad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalmad Posted November 14, 2014 Author Share Posted November 14, 2014 Small update, I was able to get the dash gauge decals applied & get some finishing touch's done on the interior. It looks like I will be scratch building some brackets for the NOS bottle since I don't really care for the photo etch bracket parts so that is what I'll tackle next.

Metalmad Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 (edited) Small update, Was able to get most of the interior done so this is just a mock up of it & not glued in yet since I still have to assemble a pair of seat belts & assemble the rest of the Nos bottle & also add the hard line to the Nos bottle. Was not to happy with the way the flocking came out but it will have to do for now. Thanks for looking !

landman Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Great looking interior Seth. Is the carpet flocking? Do they make mottled flocking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalmad Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 Small update, Since I really don't have to much room in the engine bay I decided to move the battery to the trunk so I decided to scratch build the battery tray which is done so next I will work on scratch building the battery hold down. Paul the carpet is flocking & I wanted to use embossing powder but had no luck finding it in a tan color or brown color. Thanks for looking !

Will try to get some updated pictures up this evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
