Lyle Willits Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 Rocker panel trim made from sheet plastic. I still have to add some detail to those pieces. The interior is being pieced together using the diamond pleated interior from an AMT '62 ( I think) Pontiac kit. I don't have that kit, but I got the interior from Irv Arter. THANKS IRV! Wheels are from AMT '66 Riviera with the center portions painted. The car will be Duplicolor Cardinal Red, although my wife insists that I call it Red Socks red. The tires are from a Revell '40 Ford kit, with the whitewall inserts painted Polly-Scale flat white, to take away the "white plastic" look. Front seat back was split and filler pieces made. I still have to make the convertible doglegs and the boot. I spent the morning flocking my dog!
Mr. Metallic Posted July 30, 2006 Posted July 30, 2006 Looking great lyle. A fine tip sharpie will fit right into those tight spots if you want to quickly detail the buttons.
Lyle Willits Posted July 30, 2006 Author Posted July 30, 2006 Thanks. The interior will be pearl white with red buttons in a diamond pattern on each seat section.
