Decals and clear have been applied. I may finish this this year yet.
-
I think the gold stripes would be good. What do you guys think?
-
replaced the smudged kit windows with high falutin' ones cut from a blister pack .
-
Thanks Trevor, but don't tell anyone it is a 1956 color. The purists might cringe. Well, at least it is a Ford color.?
-
And we have paint.
-
I use an ordinary Pilot Silver marker.
-
There, it looks like the steering whhel didn't get its brown wash. Ah, the golden years....
-
Working on the interior. A few more touchups to the touchups and we should be good.

Chassis work.

Painting with the chrome pen.

The car is back from the glaziers. They managed to put a smudge in one of the quarter windows. Good spot for a decal.
-
They likely are. However have to use them on account of the upholstery.
-
Ha,Ha! Be cause I never saw it.
-
Mine was a Gremlin X. I remember that. I found another picture where thre is a hint of white but again, not definite. So if it is not feasible, don't worry.
-
We have paint. Completed the interior. I managed the brass buttons but did not attempt the stitching. I had installed a Hurst shifter in mine since the original was a rattler. I used a spare part and some quarter round.
-
It is likely too far forward. I did a bit of carving in the rear and it looks better.
-
The whelbase of the kit is wrong for the resin body, so I'll have to alter it somehow. The rear appears easier at first glance.
-
The chrome bumpers from the '75 kit do not fit the resin '73. Only having the clearcoat part of The Spaz Stik left I used Duplicolor primer, two fifferent gloss blacks and Duplicolor Chrome. Both turned our ok until I applied the Spas Stix clearcoat. they are obviously not compatible. I just might do it without clear.
-
Actually John, on lythe rear window opened . there was a twist handle just below it.
-
The gremlin logo is on the gas cap. Quite neatly molded too.
