StevenGuthmiller Posted August 29, 2020 Author Posted August 29, 2020 Okay. The interior is finished!! I'll just have to add the door lock buttons before the interior makes it's final trip into the body. Getting closer! Steve
1972coronet Posted August 29, 2020 Posted August 29, 2020 Looks luxurious and inviting , Steve ! How do you affix the front seats ?
Bucky Posted August 29, 2020 Posted August 29, 2020 If ever there was an eye candy interior....this is it! Beautiful!

ChrisBcritter Posted August 30, 2020 Posted August 30, 2020 So, so clean - keep giving us what to shoot for!
Brutalform Posted August 30, 2020 Posted August 30, 2020 Superb work! Hard to tell this interior is a much smaller scale than the real thing, with all the amazing detail. You really do have to look twice.

StevenGuthmiller Posted August 30, 2020 Author Posted August 30, 2020 Thanks a million guys!! I think I've finally finished up all of the scratch building of parts on this project. The tail pipes are plastic rod drilled out and bent to shape. The dome light bezel is a slice of styrene tubing sanded to shape, and the lens is a piece of clear sprue. The sun visors are made from styrene sheet cut and sanded to shape with a thin piece of stretched sprue added to the outer edge to represent the "seam/piping". Steve
StevenGuthmiller Posted September 2, 2020 Author Posted September 2, 2020 Still making some progress. I had to figure out the best solution for head light buckets and came up with this. Sheet styrene with thin slices of tubing for the outer wall with a piece of plastic rod for the bulb. I'll paint these with Alclad, glue them to the back of the bezels and add the lenses from the front. Should look fine. Got the glass cut for the windshield, back light and vent windows. Added a tint stripe to the front glass and will polish them up in preparation for installation. Got the sun visors painted as well as the dome light and tail pipes finished with Alclad. I also started detailing the tail light lenses. I decided rather than mess with trying to foil the thin strips in the lenses, I covered the entire lens with foil, painted with Testors metallic red enamel and then cleaned the paint from the ribs. Steve

I'll be there if the show is on. Not gonna let some little ol' virus spoil my fun anymore. The Grand Prix might wait until the 2021 show though. Steve
espo Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 Amazing attention to the smallest little detail.
