Well gents, finally managed to do some detail work on the interior. 

painted the black bits. Still need some touch up, and flat black on the carpeting.

Also painted the engine and the chassis, but all the detail work is still to be done. 

Painting the grille on this kit is a real pain, as the molding is very shallow. A wash don't work well. have to paint one little rectangle at a time...

Also bulk painted the black parts of the suspension, and drive train. 

Have to make some foil during the week, and hopefully, have this baby done by Sunday.

Here is a update on the '56:

I gave the final buff on the body, and did the foil. 

Did some detail paint on the frame. 

Did some mock ups with the Cragars, and didn't like the look. 

I knew I was not going to like it before hand, but had to try. 

Then I did a mock up with the factory wheel covers and wide whitewall tires, and voilá!! The car had the right look. 

I think hot rodding is not in my blood...
