RichCostello Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 I like to use Krylon satin Crystal Clear on interiors. It works on any paint, and looks like vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modlbldr Posted September 12, 2020 Author Share Posted September 12, 2020 Thanks guys. I wish the red embossing powder had been more red and not so pink. 2 hours ago, RichCostello said: I like to use Krylon satin Crystal Clear on interiors. It works on any paint, and looks like vinyl.

Modlbldr Posted September 16, 2020 Author Share Posted September 16, 2020 I got the interior done this week. Scratchbuilt the center console. Did the BMF and grills today. I've got to find some light blue paint now for the engine. Coming down the home stretch now. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I don't know what kind of black paint they sold years ago but it does not want to come off. LOL Black paint has some kind of pigment in it where it just doesn’t budge!

Did it have the long headrests and waterfall center console? Actually, the only part I am missing is the stock convertible boot and stock taillights. It has the custom taillight.panel and stock bumpers. Yeah. Fortunately mine is cleaning up easy. I'm already to the "putty the divots" stage. Should be getting the first coat of primer tomorrow or Friday. Later- I have an AMT 63 Tempest builtup as well. I'm looking for the same parts as you; the right headlight bezel and stock tail light panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the tail lights but not the bezels. A rear bumper and valance below the rear bumper. Did yours have the 4 cylinder in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modlbldr Posted September 22, 2020 Author Share Posted September 22, 2020 Getting closer. Just had to set the body on the chassis to see how it looks so far. Got the engine done and the tires and wheels on. Just waiting for the clear coat to gas out so I can wet sand it and polish. I've got the grilles and taillight panel done. Need to touch up the chrome and BMF the windshield frame. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Modlbldr Posted October 1, 2020 Author Share Posted October 1, 2020 Finished! I liked the stance from the original build so I wanted to keep that. Moving to Under Glass and on to the next build- a 71 GTX. Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
