    assy. of the body is going well.body is on the chassis. i have to sand and paint silver around the head lites. i made head lite covers out of solid lexan , finished and polished to use to make a mold to reproduce them hollow .the solids are like a magnifying glass but they fit the car nicely

    i think if i sand them with some 400 to dull them a little and smooth the sidewalls,they will be pretty nice.got to find some decals for both front and rear.got the outer half of the wheels done as well.

    having to much fun with this mustang,got to get back onthe corvette.metal foil on the trim and glass is about it.could not find what i wanted for front tires so i machined a pair .i hope they look ok .now the wheels.going to be the same as the rears only alot skinnier.i used delrin plastic for the tires ,delrin machines so nice.

    almost finished polishing the body. assy. is very close. need a few things from RB motion and some radiator hoses. finally found some material i like for the seat belts. the material is red but when you cut strips it wants to unravel,so i put two coats of red paint on both sides and that holds it together really well.
