You can do the same thing with craft foam sheets, they come colored and they retain the embossing on the foam. -
This is a very important point. I once built a fantastic hinge for a trunk for a 1962 Pontiac and did not test fit the base. Come to find out it was hitting the wheel tub. Had to start all over.

I have been gone from here for a while due to Instagram. Found Instagram and been over there mostly. I thought I would share my only finished build for 2020. It is finished except for the swamp cooler I have to add and a cool rag top. Other than that it is finished. I removed the fenders, opened up the doors, built a custom blower for the engine, among a few.

also added an over flow hose on the fuel tank.

also added some wiring to under the hood.

Matched the color of the running boards to the color of the sliding rag top.

I actually hand carved two surfboards for this car. I may put the junk in the back seat area and the surfboards on the roof. Or the boards first then the junk.

David, yes they are skulls, I should have painted them a little darker, they are hard to make out. I put rhinestones in the eye sockets to look like led's.
