Take this for what it's worth, but you will notice a distinct lack of feedback since you started posting videos. Most forum readers do NOT want to take the time to watch them, myself among them. Give us some decent photos and a brief description and you will see a lot more interest in your work.

OK recap. Iv got the Chassis and motor and inside all painted up. Just painted the boddy but not done with that yet.I whole car in its self is about 75% done I think.

OK so I found som really old pics of the front seats of the wagon. But here's the prob. I cant recreat the pattern on the seat.

If you looked at the last video or pics I showed you what I was able to come up with. I hate it but dont know what to do about it. ????

What you all think.

ls it leopard skin? lf so, it would be VERY tedious, but paint it orange/yellow & dot with black, fading to brown Sharpies. Bart.

Wow, see what l mean?

[H.A.K]

No it's flames. Crushed velvet seat covers.

[Bartster]

Wow! Almost impossible to do in scale. White flocking & dry brush red, orange & yellow? You might actually be able to use the small scale to your advantage: perhaps the tri-colors would be recognizable enough as fire that the absence of flame patterns wouldn't really matter?

Make a decal to cover the seats?

[H.A.K]

Thanks man. I might leave it that way or just redo it altogeter.

Dont have the right printer or decal paper, BUT if someone here can do that for me Id pay you for it.

I couldn't get the pattern repeat exactly right, but maybe this will help. copy, print, cut it out and glue it down.

I've never done my own decals, but Wayne Stevens, Jr., - wayne1320, or is he 1320wayne does outstanding decals. He's building the Cobra drag racer in the WIPS. I don't know if he makes them for others though.

[H.A.K]

Yepper, I'd see if one of the guys on here would be willing to print a couple seat covers out for ya. I'd offer, but I don't have a working printer these days. But I'd bet someone would do it, especially if you sent them the decal film for their printer.

Oh, and cool project. Glad you switched to pics.
