Very nice. I have been enjoying your build and I even bought the kit from Historic Racing Miniatures. My kit does not have those wire wheels in the front but it does have a note that decals will be available from Vintage Racing Miniatures (v-r-m.com). Might check with them on when they might be available and what car they include.

Very nice!

FYI the trunk pan is the off-white/cream fiberglass like the footboxes are.

 

Thanks Rick. Yea the spare tire recess is fiberglass.  I didn't super detail the underside of the chassis so I just painted it aluminum. I have also seen the underside painted black before.

hi there...this looks great...just wondering..

how did you do the lenses and the leather-like surface?

 

Thanks!!

I used Future Floor Finish for the lenses.  Place a large drop inside the gauge and let it dry.   The Future shrinks a lot so it takes a few applications to get the desired depth. 

The kit part has the textured finish molded in, I just painted the dash semi-gloss black.
