Hotrod 97

The chassis assembly is complete, now onto the body and finishing touches. I also included some more pics of the interior before I set the door panels and dash in the body.

Thank you very much. Great idea about buffing the clearcoat. I don’t have the resources at this time, though I do plan on buffing it in the future.

I decided to dullcote the interior pieces, so that the decals are sealed. Before: After:

A true Land Yacht...

Got the body clear-coated. Now all that’s left is assembly.

Made a bit more progress on the Eliminator. This was my first attempt at using actual wires for the plug wires instead of thread. The interior is painted, decals applied, and ready for assembly.

Very impressive work on this build. It looks amazing!

If you do decide on getting one, it is a fun build. Thanks, Bill.

The good news: the Eliminator is almost done The bad news: the beard may take a decade to catch up...

Made some more progress on the Eliminator. Next is to finish up the decals, wash the grille, and wire the engine.

Got some plug wire for the Eliminator and some Mustangs from a friend.

As of today, there’s nothing model related on clearance in Chambersburg.

Yikes! I’m sorry to hear that you’re laid up. I wish you a speedy recovery. Glad I could be of inspiration. I’ll keep you updated, for sure.

No problem, Geno! At this point, it looks like it should be done next week.

Not sure how accurate to the real car it is, but I painted mine with Rust-oleum Apple red over white primer. Here are a couple pics in natural light (one in sunlight, one in shade).
