DRIPTROIT 71 Posted June 2, 2016 Author Posted June 2, 2016 Thanks for the very kind words; Terry, Michael, Dennis, Tom, Gino, and Angel!! You guys have really been an encouragement!! The engine details look incredible Brian. I love those wood floors. Time for me to wave the white flag. Thanks for the complements Rob, but looking at that nice looking Diamond Reo of yours, a white flag can only mean that your in the lead on the last lap. Lookin good Brian! Is the cab gonna be the same color as the chassis? Thanks for the encouragement Sam! The plan is to paint the cab yellow. The real question is to stripe or not to stripe. I like stripes, but almost always have trouble with bleed through on the edges. I will probably paint it solid yellow to avoid another set back.
72 Charger Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 Fantastic workmanship . If I had any input on this superb rig I would vote for the cab to be the same colour as the chassis .....! I just wish it was mine
gatorincebu Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 Looking really good ! Nice work on the door hinges . Be Well Gator
Canso65 Posted June 4, 2016 Posted June 4, 2016 I'm definitely not ahead on the final lap Brian. I had a little more time tonight to look closer at you progress pictures and I am blown away at the nice detail on your fuel tank straps, the valves on the tanks and much more throughout. Very nice work my friend. Rob

Very nice work my friend. Rob x2. I'm kind of wondering what he's up to next. Those fuel tanks are killer, great work Brian.

DRIPTROIT 71 Posted June 7, 2016 Author Posted June 7, 2016 Thanks for all of the very kind words guys!! While taking a break from sanding, I made the drivers seat. It started out as the seat from the Prowler kit.
Mopar - D Posted June 7, 2016 Posted June 7, 2016 Nice seat Brian! I picked up a tip to prevent bleed through on one of the model forums by putting some clear coat over the tape edge ( I used model master clear in the bottle ) with a brush and have been able to have good luck with it.
Canso65 Posted June 7, 2016 Posted June 7, 2016 Your seat looks great Brian. This is going to be one fine ride!
