Did some work on the interior 😄This time, its the classic black leather again. Also painted the underside too, but not going to show yet. Its a bit unusual color. I'll show it when i get around to painting the body.

Thank you all for your kind words! 😄 Found an almost new Ikea Blaliden display cabinet from Facebook marketplace for dirt cheap! So cabinet problem is solved!

Theres something special about vintage drag cars. They just look so cool! Anyhow, back to my model. Did a bit of thinking and decided to go for a two tone paintjob. Not really sure about vinyl roof yet - i havent done this before and i'm a bit scared to try it. If someone has any tips or tricks then im all ears (Dont want to do the painters tape version). So, i wanted to add the roof trim strip to the model. Unfortunately i couldnt find small enough plastic from my local hobby store. So i decided to be a bit creative. I took a scrap spruce from my old Charger kit, heated it up with blowtorch and stretched it out until i had a thin wire. After that i glued it in place with some cement. Came out pretty good for a first try.

Time for another Mopar This time, the Charger's little brother - Dart Thinking of doing a vinyl roof (havent done this before) or maybe a two tone painjob? Dont know yet. I have an idea for the bodypaint - again, pretty unusal color for this car, but maybe it will look good. We'll see.

Yup, it was in the kit. Its not a reflection - I did painted it in chrome 😁

Engine bay still needs a bit of work

This one was pretty fun to build. Model did have some minor issues, but overall went together nicely Really love classic Mustangs. Will definitely build the Shelby gt350 too. Thinking of buying the Ikea Blaliden cabinet for my models. Anyone have any experience with it? Is it worth it?

Hopefully the headlight glue will dry transparent, but overall its finished 😁

Forgot to take some pictures, but painted the window trim. Did screw up a bit doing that - didnt cut the tape as straight as i would have liked. But still came out pretty good. Then glued the windows - the rear one had some fitment issues, but still got it pretty good.

Didnt even noticed that, but now when i look at some of the reference pictures, youre right

Interior is pretty much done Also did some wiring

Got the body clear coated

Painted the engine compartment black. Also did some decal work I'll let it dry for a day and then its clearcoat time

I'm by no means an expert of scribbing, but its a thick rigid tape that helps you to cut in straight lines. This is mostly used for creating new panel lines, but it also helps to scribe the existing ones too. So, you tape the edge of whatever you want to scribe and run your knife along side it. The tape will keep the knife from jumping out of the line. I used the Dspiae one, but they're all the same no matter who makes them.

Thank you! I really like the box art too Did a bit of work on the interior too Still a lot of stuff left to do.
