After building the chassis up, I'm a little let down with the interior. I mean.....it's okay... The problem is going to be painting the contrasting panels on the seats, door panels and dash. LOTS of masking in store for me. Check it out: Here's the layout which has now been primed and had the semi gloss black lightly sprayed on for the right effects.

dino246gt Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 Excellent so far and I'm sure you'll finish it as beautifully as the engine and chassis you've built. Nice work! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KWT Posted October 29, 2022 Share Posted October 29, 2022 I know you're going for an accurate build, but I gotta say that interior looks pretty slick already. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mustang1989 Posted November 13, 2022 Author Share Posted November 13, 2022 After a while away, I did manage to get the dash most of the way completed. Still have the steering wheel and column to go and then we're off to the seats. I managed to pick up a spare interior so I could make the painting masks for the seats and door trim so that's next up. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to take some real work to get this interior to look like the pictures. Door panels are done. One thing to note: The casual eye won't see it but .......the R/H door panel has the master switches for the windows and door locks. It would pass for a R/H drive car in part. lol Painting the inlay areas was a bit tricky but managed to get it done. Trim work and door handles were brought out using Vallejo Metal Colors Dark Aluminum for lack of anything better to paint them with. I also added the "Bose" logos on the speaker grilles. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rough edges between the borders of the two tone seats is ALOT less noticeable in real life and is more the camera picking these up. I decided to go with decals from the Foose FD-100 kit for the light gray portion of the seats which resulted in a cleaner demarkation line than I could've done with paint. Masking on these irregular surfaces to achieve the same effect would've been dang near impossible. This interior was almost as difficult as the '67 Mustang interior that I just got through with a few months ago. LOTS of masking and LOTS of different shades of black with the details being picked out. Now..............moving on to the car body.
