Thanks for eyeballin'
The interior was sprayed with "Make it Suede" spray paint from any craft store. It does run hot and has a nice maple syrup smell. Anyway it comes in a few shades and is about $7.99 for a krylon size spray can.

I agree. You seem to have built some very nice models, but it's hard to see all your work with such small pictures. Is there a way to make them bigger? Maybe one of our members or a moderator could help...
Also,any chance we could see some engines, chassis and interiors?

I was lucky to get the pictures to post at all. I tried to use the upload program from this site and it just didnt work. I had to post them to flickr and then copy and paste. I tried to copy and paste to my post from my hard drive and that didnt work either. I'll try to work it out somehow.
Thanks for the kind words

unfortunately, I have to get one of these kits now...my brain told me that I've never seen an El Camino version of of a Rivvy.

There we go! I'm glad you got the picture size issue sorted out.
Thanks for the Make It Suede tip, Jim. That interior looks comfy.
