bisc63 Posted June 26, 2020 Posted June 26, 2020 For someone that doesn't like foiling, you sure as heck did it RIGHT! Very realistic finishes, and agree with the others; that color is perfect for that car. Congrats on a clean build.
Metalmad Posted June 28, 2020 Author Posted June 28, 2020 Thank You Rusty ...... was able to get the glass, rear view mirror and the headlamp lamps in today so if all goes well next will be the firewall and radiator support.

Metalmad Posted June 29, 2020 Author Posted June 29, 2020 Thank you Tom ! Well I have the glass installed and rear view mirror so I will start the final assembly but first I detailed the windshield washer bottle which is now installed and then next will be the battery . I'm also thinking of toning down the brightness of the chrome plating on the windshield wiper arms before installing them because they just look a little to bright to me so I'll try toning down a piece of the chrome tree to see how they would look toned down a bit.
espo Posted June 29, 2020 Posted June 29, 2020 To tone down the chrome trim consider using either Tamiya Panel Line or X-19 Smoke paint. I'll use just a dab of the paint on any details on the wipers and use your finger or Q-Tip to wipe away the part you don't want.
Metalmad Posted June 30, 2020 Author Posted June 30, 2020 Thank you for the tips on toning down the chrome David. Well I have started the final assembly which the interior is installed ....chassie is mated to the body coolant hose's attached and wheels attached . So next will be the windshield wiper arms, driver outside rear view mirror, outer door handles and I also need to secure the front and rear bumpers plus I still need to touch up the bumpers with molotow and also molotow the pontiac scrip between the rear tail lights and the door locks.
Metalmad Posted July 7, 2020 Author Posted July 7, 2020 The Goat is finished ! Wiper blades , door handles, front and rear bumpers and the key locks detailed as is the rear Pontiac script above the rear bumper. Pictures are coming .
