This is a great idea, I am looking forward to watching this build!
-
I used .060 x .060" strips.

That's what I was thinking too, the quilted look is good, but I wonder if its going to be too large of a pattern? I'll have to see when I get the seat mounted in there and the dashboard on, if it looks alright.

Check out this aluminum foil I found. It was used to wrap a gyro I ordered for lunch the other day. I think this pattern will look good for the heat insulation at the drivers feet? I cut a piece and sprayed it with some flat clear.

Building the AMT Ford F100

This truck is wild! I love the engine, looks awesome! -
I saw this trick many years ago, in one of the magazines. Scrape the inner lip of the wheel with the back of a blade, and color it red with a permanent marker. Got most of the decals on, but my lighting wasn't good, so I'll take them again when they are all on.

I airbrushed some clear yellow on the oil pan to give it an anodized look, like a Milodon style oil pan. probably not correct for this shape of oil pan, but it was good practice, and I will use that technique on others in the future.

WOOD BROTHERS DAVID PEARSON 74 FIRECRACKER 400 WINNER

Real nice job on this! I got one of these bodies a while back, and I plan to do the same subject. What did you use for the glass? -
I like these Buicks, too. I built the High Life Bobby Allison car a few years ago. I got the power slide decals, and painted the car with Tamiya Park Green. The gold section on the rear bumper is Tamiya gold, and its almost a perfect match with the decals. The gold stripes on the front were tricky, I had to cut them to angle them down, while still lining up the black trim, and I'm happy with how they turned out.

Started this one a few months ago, haven't taken hardly any photos so far. I am using a newer seat, so I cut out the headrest in the cage. I also added the front radiator support with some square tubing. Looks good, but I have to relocate the top oil line on the oil cooler for it to fit.
-
the yellow bled through on the sides, and the hood, so I think I will sand this one down a bit and respray. I used sealer primer the first time, but maybe needed a second coat or something.
-
I also use the Krylon Pewter gray, can is almost out. I hope I'll be able to find it again. Krylon is getting harder to find.

Nice job so far, this kit needs the help for sure.
