few more progress photos......thanks

Hello........thanks guys for the kind comments........I did some work on the interior.......the white is painted H.O.K. white and misted with H.O.K. snow white pearl........I added sticky back felt paper for carpeting and painted it "Folk Art" Blue Acrylic water based paint ....... I made a velvet backing for the back of the seat.......I mocked up the interior and bed for last fit and progress photos.......I will sand the body one more time and give a last clear coat.......thanks for looking.

Tyrone.........you gotta be proud of this one........sure is a beauty.

Sure Harry...........I masked the area to be painted uncovered.........I use "Datak" brand circut board tape size .015 and .040.........I like this tape because it is thin for taping off tight turns and has just the right adhesive..........first I use the 0.15 to tape off the graphic then I lay the .040 just barley covering over the 0.15 this will secure any movement in the tape........then I cut thin strips of 3M blue painters tape about an 1/8 inch wide and lay that barley over the 0.40..........I do this to make sure no over spray will appear.........then I cover the existing area with more pieces of blue tape...........I like to mix the paint thin enough so that it will dry faster when you lay the paint down..........I will remove the tape in sequence starting with the blue tape immediately after airbrushing.........so that it does not have enough time to dry fast and chip and flake........I will do one section at a time............cowl first, drivers side second, passenger side third etc........... hope I explained this ok?........when I try to explain something it`s kinda like same-way as when I build something and it is wrong

DANG!!!!!!!!.........that is NICE!!!!!!!
