With resin 3d printing with us these days it is a wonder a subject such as this has not popped up. I have friend who is into large scale models and he has printed all sorts of 1/8 scale stuff - mostly early drag stuff.

Checked the reference pix and found I needed more chrome on the doors. I have added the two chrome strips on either side. The dash has had the decals for the instrument cluster and radio added. The Moebius decals are quite thick and take some effort wit Tamiya Markfit Strong to get them to settle. Aslo got chrome on the front seats

What a stunning paint job. @Speedpro is the master! And the whole package is stunning too. - Colour - sublime - Stance - perfect - Wheel/Tyres - spot on - Looks - stunning

And as to the hood differences - I seem to remember the coupe hood has no sides while the SD has. They can be swapped around which is a bonus

Got the second door card chromed up! Next up is body prep. I have scribed the door and trunk gaps and now need to move onto the trim scribing - I have been procrastinating again Also from my reference pix I see that the console has carpet part way up so may need to get that detailed up too

Thanks for reminding me of your post. I remember it now after the nudge

Is the Touch Tone Terror the same kit as the Little Red Wagon? They are both Dodge A100 pickups

I have been spending some time with my 32 Coupe build and I was waiting for paint and glue to dry I dug ot a door card to detail. I used BMF on the arm rests and Satellite emblem and used Molotow on the window cranks and door handles I must say that the engraving on the interior parts of these kits is very good in that the details are crisp and of good depth. The foiling and masking so far has gone reasonably smoothly. Kudos to Moebius

I have a Emco Unimat 3 that I got second hand a while ago. It was used but came as a kit with the drill/mill attachment and a whole heap of additional stuff that made the deal worthwhile. I di spend some time cleaning it up and fitting new headstock bearings and setting up a new workstation for it. I am real happy with it and in reality I think it is a step up from the Proxon and may even nudge ahead of the Sherline but unfortunately the Emco brand is no longer so you can only get second hand. A lot of the DNA from Unimat 3 can be found in the likes of the small Sieg lathes (and copies) which are another avenue to look at

Thanks Jim. I have done it the other way a lot of times and it is painful masking up around the gas tank so this time I reversed the order. Much more better

Worked on the interior to get it ready to fit up. The combination of colours has worked out. The green body colour for the dash, dark green which is carried over from the motor and running gear and the off white as a contrast. Not seen here is the back side of the fire wall which is pleated and finished in off white. The carpets a flat dark green. The hood liner is off white too. I went to fit the interior into the body and it does not fit. OOPs. Lets read the instructions - looks like the rear inner fenders for the high boy version are fitted AFTER the interior is fitted. Oh dear. Well in for a penny. in for a pound and hoping I would not stuff up the top chop, I wedged it in there by spreading the body apart more than I thought it would go and in it popped. Yahoo!! Now that it is in there you can hardly see it coz of the chop. I need the body ready to fit the chassis for the next step of sorting the motor placement. Thanks for looking

People may not respond but I see you have had a numbers of views. Not everyone knows about the like button or are surfers who have not joined up to the forum. I know I was one of the surfers for a while before I joined. Post em and we will LOOK.

I have the induction set up ready to be installed onto the motor. I have installed .4mm nylon fishing line for the fuel lines to the carbs. I have also made up a small fuel manifold and have "chromed" it. A shot of the motor assembled and waiting for the exhaust manifolds to be fitted. While I am at it I took the opportunity to test fit the motor into the chassis. All is not well. The motor is too far forward and there is not enough space for the radiator and fan. I will need to remake the motor mounts to get the motor back a bit. And that leads to fit issues elsewhere. The joys of monkeying around with non-stock kit parts - and this is what keeps the hobby interesting The body is on its nose waiting for the glue to dry after fitting the windscreen Thanks for looking

Thanks for the conffirmation David

I think I got my answer here
