bryan_m Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) ive been diggin thorugh some old projects of mine, and i think i started on this one back in 09, when i finished up "ol smoothie" heres the completed interior, i may have to get back on this one. im gonna have to look further and see what else i had done on this, but i might get back to it..... lemme know what ya think about the interior guys thanks bryan Edited July 16, 2012 by bryan_m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryan_m Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 (edited) the interior colors are krylon "ivy leaf" and "almond" i flocked the carpet, used some photoreduced gauges and made lenses for them from crystal clear 5 min epoxy, the clock in the center got the same treatment, but it got an aluminum trim ring. i also added gas and brake pedals...along with some mail on the rear seat, and a couple hot rod mags on the front seat. oh, and i made the "stitchin" on the seats stand out by gently rubbing it with a fingernail file.. and i made the steering column from a couple different sizes of aluminum tubing, with the end flared out where the wheel mounts on...... thanks for lookin bryan Edited July 16, 2012 by bryan_m Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
