Zippi Posted June 7, 2021 Author Posted June 7, 2021 (edited) Ok....I tried the bmf this morning on my seats and I gotta say, you guys that apply this so nicely my hat's off to you. I guess I've had to much coffee this morning but it was a bear to trim and keep on the part. How does it look to you guys before I continue on? Do I need to peel it off and take another run at it???

espo Posted June 8, 2021 Posted June 8, 2021 Seats look great. Using foil takes a while to find a technique that works for you.

Looks good. And foil does not like to stick to flat paint! I
Zippi Posted June 8, 2021 Author Posted June 8, 2021 Thanks fellows. Yeah....I did a couple test before I did my seats. The only thing it really wanted to stick to was an unpainted surface. it stuck pretty good to the acrylic though.
Zippi Posted June 8, 2021 Author Posted June 8, 2021 Worked a little on the detailing for the firewall and dash. My Molotow Chrome pen crapped out on me so I had to stop. Wasn't planning on a trip to the hobby shop today.
Zippi Posted June 9, 2021 Author Posted June 9, 2021 (edited) Raining this morning so no spray painting. I did get the interior completed for now. May do a little more touch up. Not sure if i like the color on the console. Edited June 9, 2021 by Zippi

Tom Geiger Posted June 9, 2021 Posted June 9, 2021 Interior looks great. A good place to practice BMF since it will only be seen from side angles once it’s in the body. Keep working with the BMF and don’t get discouraged. One thing you need to know is not to use any where you have touched the glue. Finger grease does affect it. Also pulling it up and repositioning it hurts the glue. Cut pieces larger than needed so you pop it on once, then cut away the excess, including the areas where you touched the glue!
Zippi Posted June 9, 2021 Author Posted June 9, 2021 Did a little work on the front grille. I decided not to put the clear lenses in as I like the look as it is. Did some black wash in the grille. Looks like there is nothing on the right side but it must be the lighting.
FLHCAHZ Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 Looks fantastic. The interior detail is great and grille looks real
Zippi Posted June 10, 2021 Author Posted June 10, 2021 Thanks for the comments fellows and the info on the bmf is greatly appreciated Tom.
Painted Black Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 Looking good, have you tried fitting the windows in place yet? Be very careful, there is just no room for error when applying the glue!!

Zippi Posted June 10, 2021 Author Posted June 10, 2021 Ok....Finally got the engine bay buttoned up. I see a few things I need to touch up but for the most part it's completed. I was going to try my hand at painting clamps around the radiator hoses but wasn't sure I could paint a straight line. How do you fellow do it?
bisc63 Posted June 10, 2021 Posted June 10, 2021 Just cut yourself a small strip of aluminum foil and wrap around the hose, tack in place with super glue.
Zippi Posted June 10, 2021 Author Posted June 10, 2021 Haha.....I knew someone would be smarter than me to figure it out. Thant's what I like about this forum. All the help you get.

Thant's what I like about this forum. All the help you get. Or, use the Aluminum tape from the hardware store, cut thin strip and wrap it around. No glue required. it’s like really thick BMF. Lifetime size roll is under $10. Edited June 10, 2021 by Oldmopars
Zippi Posted June 10, 2021 Author Posted June 10, 2021 (edited) Thanks for the Info Scott. Edited June 11, 2021 by Zippi
