Baja Edsel

[Hi-Po]

For the seatbelts I used the paper that came in the Pro Tech 5-point racing harness set - # PTMC  17.  This paper has a nice cloth texture and I used a red Sharpie to color it.  I would think that something similar could be found in craft paper.  Once the seatbelts were assembled, I made a solution of white glue and water that I applied to the belts and then realistically draped them on the seats.

Love this!  Very well done.  The paper used for the seat belts, is that craft paper that's red?  There is a great selection of colors and textures, I may consider this.

Dakar 2021 is just a few days away.  High tail it over to Saudi Arabia and you could enter.

Thanks, Rich.  I was quite surprised when I opened my MCM #209 issue and saw the Edsel.  This will definitely be an issue that gets saved in a special place.

Unusual and very interesting!

This is an amazing build - and seems pretty plausible.  At least to me.  Really eye catching!
