Phone dump! Its about 99% done. The windshield was too small for the frame. So I was thinking how to fill the gap. I used a headphones wire casing and split it with a razor blade in one side. Then wrapped the windshield with it and glued in place. Did the same with the back glass. I used shrink tube and beeding wire to make the radiator hoses. Thanks to this forum for all the great ideas I got. Hope you all like it. Thanks for looking -

I forget the name of the color. But it is DuPont automotive paint. It's a Chevy Equinox color. -

I can get it from work. I paint 1:1 cars for a living. Not so much body work. But I will give it a try -
