In Topic: Bare Metal Foil Phobic (Like me)? These items may help.

I've got a set of these.  I use the smallest diameter one to work the foil into places where I'd be afraid it would tear first, then use something smaller to push it into the corners.  They're really handy.

Does the original car still exist?  I could see that kit selling like crazy.

I've got a Chrysler Turbine in my stash.  Considering that it was probably made about the time the Turbine was a new car, The kit is AMAZINGLY detailed. 

 

It has:

a multi-piece engine

separate exhaust ducts (exhaust isn't molded into the floorpan or the rear differential)

opening doors/hood/trunk

molded headlight buckets with clear lenses instead of the molded chrome

working steering with individual springs

folding front seats

 

There are kits produced today that aren't as detailed.

1972 Buick Skylark Custom Hardtop with a 350-2.  I miss that car.

I've done the flocking and the embossing powder.  I have to say it's embossing powder for the win.  The flocking seems to be too loose to really emulate carpeting as far as I'm concerned.  Plus if the powder doesn't come in the correct color, you can paint it.
