John I think you amaze alot of us with your builts a true craftsman. It seems there`s nothing you can build and make it outstanding. Keep up the good work one day you should have some your models in museum of some sort love them all.

Hello.......I finished up the floor planks......I made some seat tracks and a couple of plank handles.......the seats and planks are re-movable......I used a "Taco Bell" enchirito plate cover to make extensions for both sides of the rear seat......thanks for looking.

[John Teresi]

few more progress photos.......thanks

[Nitrozilla]

There's always a solution to every challenge. I wish I could see simple fixes like the Taco Bell cover. Great idea and tasty too !!

Have a Merry Modeling Christmas John.

This continues to amaze. I can't tell for sure, but it looks like John has put the correct cloth/carpet backing on the rear-facing parts of the seat backs, which would be something of a first on this kit.

[John Teresi]

Hello.......thank you all for the kind comments.......I painted the body bucket......I tried to make a textured paint job......the front and rear seats are also painted...... the back of the front seats will have a carpet texture.....the interior will have painted inserts.......I will put a light wash on the seats as well.......thanks for looking.

I must have missed some details... why is the body textured?

[John Teresi]

Hello......thank you all for the kind comments.........I assembled the petcocks and fuel lines..........tail lights are on.......I modified the rear seat area and modified the cushion to have a hide away compartment.......I will work on the headlights and horns tonight.......thanks for looking.

Are you serious John! What you could do with a real car would be amazing, your work is the best I have seen and it just amazes me all the time, this will truly be a museum piece when done. Makes me want to grab the keys and take it around the block to see how she runs....................................................

Looks so freakin' real.

[curt raitz]

I must have missed some details... why is the body textured?

The main body of the car is covered in canvas, hence the textured finish...

[qmhd]

I'm speachless

congrats Man !

[Modelbuilder Mark]

I have to say that I have been floowing the progress of this build, and not only am I more than throughly impressed with your build quality, but your progress so quickly it makes it just that much more impressive!

Great looking model!
