Thanks Dann. It's gone from one of my most hated projects to one that I can't wait to work on more.

Yup. The seats are on the work bench. It's not quite the same color as the real deal but it has a nice buttery appearance. I used the same interior color on a Mercedes coupe I did and was very pleased with how it looks as a whole.

That's great!!, sometimes that can happen, my Ferrari F40 situation was EXACTLY the same.

My fabrication skills are a little shaky, but I worked up some seat belts to fill the obvious lack in the kit.

Nice, bud!, its great to see you trying stuff!....its the only way to get better, plus, photos that are really up close are NEVER gonna be perfect....the closer you get....the worse it gets, no matter whose building it. I have these exact seats in my Koenig version. Keep up the creativity!!

True, lens sees what eyes can't.

A little over a year ago I sustained an eye injury. It has healed well but it’s not the same as it once was. But yeah, the camera certainly can show off the deficiencies.

Sorry to hear about your eye, bud...….i'm glad you're not letting it discourage you!
