Thanks. well when you have a 2 week winter break with nothing to do but eat build and fill out job applications you get a lot of building done. got most the body done need to do that little wrath they call lights. and i have decided after looking at all the pictures of built lonestars that my hood is sitting normal for the kit other than the moebius promo picture on their instructions. oh yah and my dad just signed up for these forums yesterday he is oldguy70 with only one post its a 71 cuda in the underglass car section. he spent like 2 years building the thing with scratchbuilding and detailing included. -

well around 930 last night i decided ti try and put the interior in the cab not so easy when the paint is still drying(i had set it over a heater vent to speed up the drying a little but not much) its a tough job when you dont wanna ruin the paint. anyway i was successful. heres a mock up. and as always my pete is pictured. forgot to paint my fenders lol. -

no update but i though that this 1949 international kb-14 looked sorta like a lonestar. could this be the styling? point the nose a little more add lots of chrome a sleeper cab and dual rear axles. do you see it? -

thanks for the kind words guy. heres the interior i did just finish the dashboard but i have not taken a picture of it. still got engine work and other details to do. i think its about time for a new detail brush its bristles are starting to feather out. the color im using for the brown is a wall paint the color is terracotta base coat.
