thanks for the comps and the warm welcome everyone! the thing on the window is a swamp cooler. back in the day, that was top of the line AC.

whats up Gary? seems I can't go anywhere without running into you and your amazing work!

GOOD GOD! I posted this up before I hit the hay and wake up to this! THANK YOU ALL FOR THE POSITIVE FEEDBACK!!! @n8dogginz: the fan works due to a "pager vibrate" motor from Radioshack that I built into the shell of the straight 6. there's no outside controller, it's all contained in the model. there's a micro push switch mounted behind/in the dash with the ignition drilled out. I made a small "key" (metal rod flattened on one end) that fits in the hole in the dash, and when pushed it activates the switch. the power source for the lights and the motor is a 3.7 Li-Po that just (barely) fits under the seat. the light switch is located on the face of the seat base, driver's side. @Corvair Jim: you're right, there's a couple little things still to be done. hubcaps are one. I still need to make fender marker lights (I tried to make them out of fiber optics so they'd turn on with the rest of the lights, but it didn't work out, too tight of a bend), and a few more accessories. and I need to make another parking light lens for the driver's side (I made two, lost one). @ everyone else: thank you so much for all the kind words. I will try to figure out how to do a vid soon.

great job regardless of forum, ESO!!!!

this is a great tip! I recently built a replica of my cousin's first car (66 Galaxie), and her car had a top. I looked through all the vinyl top posts here and tried a couple methods, and thought the adhesive method was the best. I LOVE the results! thanks again for sharing!!!
