My idea for the 32 paint work but in satin and some weathering on top of it....

Are you doing the Egyptian writing by hand?  Looks great

yes its a gel pen from hobby lobby and out of about 8 gel pens that one is the only one that would continue to draw on the surface. Trying to get a steadier hand at it,. decals would probably look better but do not have a great printer right now, plus had envisioned it to look this way and the gold on black is really cool looking. Im surprised there are not a good source for aftermarket decals in an Egyptian theme after all of these years.

Too cool! Too cool I say!

[Darren B]

Thank you Joe, im hoping it comes out the way I have it envisioned time will tell.

I'm sure it will Darren. With all the planning you've got you'll get at there very least really close to what you're after.

my first installed prop for the hood...

[blunc]

you could put a small magnet inside the cowl next to the hinge wire (the hinge wire doesn't really need to touch the magnet if it's strong enough, and assuming the hinge wire is ferrous)...this would eliminate the need for a hood prop.

Ill have to give that a try that would be trick with no rod, thanks will give it a try...

tried some different color combos have a lot of little pieces to color and need to get a game plan on to finish them.

Thank you Gator, it has been a long time coming for color that is for sure...

Decided to carry the pyramid theme over to the shifter and a knew knob....

also thinking of a scarab type shield for the doors, kinda like the symbol for a tomb raider!!!

    Darren,

            This is just sick!! On the shifter, are you going to put some gems in for the eyes? That would be trick if you could do that.
