Hello......I got the primer on the body and finished up all the body work.......I put on a base coat of H.O.K. Orion Silver and then shot H.O.K. Kandy Red.......I pinstriped the cab with White and Orange 1/16 KwikStripe tape..... The 1/16 KwikStripe was still a little to wide so I cut some strips in half with # 11 Exacto Blade ....... I like the width now..........thanks for looking -

Hello.......Danno,Chris,Dave,Jeff......thanks guys for the kind comments......I really do appreciate them......I didn`t want to spend another $50.00 for a pre-wired light set up that I put on my "Iron Lung".......so I went and bought some stuff to make my own lights......I had to put lights into this build because the original one had working lights......so everything cost me $15.00 dollars to do it......and I would have only had to spend $5.00 for the hole set up but,I had to buy a soldering iron.......the set-up has two 3 volt batteries with cases ,2 white and 2 red wheat bulbs and a on and off push button switch .......this was my first time soldering ......I think I did a an OK job.......next time I think it will even be better.......thanks for looking. -

Hello.......thank you all so very much for the kind comments.......I really do appreciate them....... I did some work on the interior.......I used some White Naugahyde to upolster the seats and airbrushed the Naugahyde light green......then I flocked the rest of the seat with white Flocking.......then I used white Chenille around the edges of the seat,just like Pete did......I also made some seat belts using the kit buckles and used medical bandage tape for the belt and flocked those in white flocking too......I also flocked the floor board and fire wall with red flocking........and attached the shifter,emergency brake handle and clutch and brake pedals.......thanks for looking
