Ace-Garageguy Posted May 19, 2013 Posted May 19, 2013 .......... but I am actually excited about this build !! That's what this stuff should be all about...
tyrone Posted May 19, 2013 Posted May 19, 2013 Wow..... that interior is awesome Anne.... keep it coming.....
John Teresi Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Anne........I really enjoy watching you build.........love your attention to detail.........and the subjects you choose.......keep doing what your doing
charlie8575 Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 You have cause to be excited. This is a very nice. Do stop in at a MassCar meeting sometime. We'd love to have you join us. There are no dues and a lot of fun. Charlie Larkin
Jeremy Jon Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 (edited) that's some extra fine work, really inspiring! very nice! Edited May 21, 2013 by Jeremy Jon
slusher Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Great looking interior Anne, keep going and stay excited its a good thing...
Danno Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 (edited) First build? No. I don't believe it. First time with a lathe? I really don't believe that. Results are way, way too good for first attempts. Paint ... maybe. But nobody has beginner's luck that good with their first half-dozen tiny pieces on a lathe. Wow. I'm in awe! I can't do that after all these years. Dash looks great. Can't wait to see the rest. Edited May 20, 2013 by Danno
crazyjim Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Looking real good, Anne. Interior question though - is the chrome shifter knob correct as chrome or should it be painted?
jaydar Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Anne, what color did you use for the interior? I have a red interior corvette in my future!! thanks, joe.
Eric N. Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Keep going! You'll be just fine! Looks really great so far. Eric
Badluck 13 Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 sorry for posting every two minutes , but I am actually excited about this build !! Just like Bill said (Ace-Garageguy)after all it just a hobby,its something you should get excited about and want to share and most of all to be enjoyed!!!......The 'Vette is gonna be awesome when done,interior work is killer.....
Davewilly Posted May 20, 2013 Posted May 20, 2013 Looks great! and hey post as often as you like....that's what its all about!
CrazyGirl Posted May 21, 2013 Author Posted May 21, 2013 Thanks all for the very kind words !! ,, , Jim , I just checked , the shifter on the 1:1 is all chrome and what's funny I was going to paint the knob white cause I thought the 1:1 was white but got lazy and I actually wanted to strip the chrome and clean up the shifter and alclad it , and now the more I look at it the more it's bugging me , so I am stripping it now , so I owe you one lol , ,, Jaydar the red is Model Master Italian Red , I tried about 5 shades of red and didn't like any of them and in the end I bought Italian Red and when I first saw the listing for it my mind said , Italian Red in an American car ,, must be a funky shade of red , turns out it was the best shade , who would of thunk
freakshow12 Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 For some of my builds I actually hit up places like year one or summit for the perfect match interior paints. They are laquers usually. Then you get exactally the color you need. I hit up my ford dealer alot for the newer interior stuff. Especially the tan shades
W-409 Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 Wow, I've been following this build since you started it, and this sure is fantastic build. You are doing incredible job with the interior, that Dash is really nice and those Machined Cauges and switches really give it a nice finished look. Seats are very nice too. I can't wait to see more. Oh, and hey I got two of these Vette kits, mind if I send both dashboards to you to be detailed? :lol:
eferrari Posted May 21, 2013 Posted May 21, 2013 Anne, I wanted to show you what the Model Factory Hiro upholstery looks like. I used it on a '32 Ford I am doing. You are doing a wonderful work. Ron
CrazyGirl Posted May 22, 2013 Author Posted May 22, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the nice words everyone ,,, WOW Ron , I wanna see more of that build , it looks amazing !!! sure Niko , send 20 dashboards LOL ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, anyway a little update , painted the door panels and put the trim on one and it came out great , now I will make the trim for the other side and put the door pull handles and window cranks and door lock and door handle on and by Thursday the interior will be 100% complete !! oops I just noticed a detail I need to get to , the black strip on the emergency brake where it pulls up ,, maybe some tape painted flat black Edited May 22, 2013 by CrazyGirl
David G. Posted May 22, 2013 Posted May 22, 2013 Your detail work is excellent! Everything looks fantastic. David G.
