Thanks for patiently following, bud!, when one is actively working on 13 builds, it can go a bit slower at times, especially during the sanding-fitting stages. I am actually working on the interior now.
Nazz Posted February 20, 2020 Posted February 20, 2020 !3 Dann, I thought I was bad! Me, usually 4-6. I don't know how you keep them all straight. My hat's off to you sir!

My hat's off to you sir! LOL, i'm terrible....Lots of sleepless nights, bud. I dont get anywhere fast, but i'm still moving along. I have two that are almost done though, so that will free up things a bit. I'm only doing this many because they were all my stalled projects, and i'm determined to FINALLY get them done, lol...then i will go back to around 5-6. Thanks for following!
Dann Tier Posted February 21, 2020 Author Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) I'm finally back at this one!...starting with the interior. First, im improving the seats. -Photo 1; There are as many different seats, as there were different cars, but these are the ones i'm copying.. -Photo 2; Kit seat on the left...mine on the right. I have spare seats so that i can separate the cushions from the frames. I could have just added to the seats, but i prefer this way better, and it will look waaay better. -Photo 3; Something i like to do to my seats, is to scribe better separation lines between separate cushions, and moveable parts. I also needed to add more cushion to the rear of the top edge of the set for a more cushioned look...i did this with styrene, and putty. -Photo 4; The space you see will be filled with the chrome trim that follows the perimeter of the backing. I also cut open the backing to replicate the recess, and used sheet styrene to back it with. -Photo 5; this photo should have been first....stupid computer. Edited February 21, 2020 by Dann Tier

Dann Tier Posted February 21, 2020 Author Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) Got some more going on here, everyone; -Photo 1&2; On the real cars, the interior padding goes all the way to the A-pillars, so i cut bits off a spare interior tub, and attached them...i will putty, and shape them next. -Photo 3; Time to show that the cars doors DO open, but you wouldnt know it from the inside. First i tried just scribing them, but it still wasnt pronounced enough for me, so i decided to use my trusty PE saw, and it worked/looked great! -Photo 4; In order to keep things lined up properly, i only cut, and braced one side at a time. -Photo 5; Forgot to post a photo of the real bench, but i will need to later anyway...the bench in the real car is actually raised a bit, so i used styrene to do it, and this gave me the gapping to round the bottom edge of the bench to improve the rolled-padded look. Edited February 21, 2020 by Dann Tier
Dann Tier Posted February 23, 2020 Author Posted February 23, 2020 (edited) Another update here, everyone; -Photo 1&2;There are some Versions of the car that dont have piping around the interior, but i decided to add it to mine to add visual interest, as well as fill the uneven gaps. -Photo 3&5; In order to define the interior panels, i scribed the corners to do this. -Photo 4; I drilled holes for the door handles. -Photo 6-9; On the left...the kits seats, on the right...my seat.

David G. Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 Wow, lot of progress on this one! What kind of wire did you use for the piping on the seat? David G.

DoctorLarry Posted August 9, 2020 Posted August 9, 2020 .020 styrene rod also works well for seat piping and you can use regular glue to attach it.
magicmustang Posted August 11, 2020 Posted August 11, 2020 Oh, and straight rear exhaust pipe extensions?

Not really familiar with this engine. What are the three pipes coming out of the blower plenum for? Maybe it's for nitrous injection..tee hee hee. Edited August 11, 2020 by TarheelRick
cobraman Posted August 11, 2020 Posted August 11, 2020 I really like what you did to the buckets. They look much better and will really look great in an open car.
