Hello…….thank you all very much for the kind comments…….I did some work on the interior ……..I airbrushed a custom mix of PPG gray primmer with H.O.K. black and Tamiya blue…….and a custom mix of Tamiya tan and white…….my good buddy Brad AKA "Gasser 59" printed the plaid design on fabric paper for me…….Brad did a wonderful job with the printed fabric paper……..I never used it before and my application was`nt that great…….but,I do have a plan on how I will make the sides of the seats look better……..thanks for looking.

[Danno]

Double secret wow!

[Mooneyzs]

John.... your work is always impressing me my Big Brother. This is sure coming along very nice. I love the decals Brad did up for you. He does some killer work.

[Davewilly]

Yeah that printed Fabric is very cool! and the interior is very nice looking! Great work John!

You nailed the color of the vinyl "Mercedes-Tex" part of the seats. I wish I could find it in a spray can. Glad to see the plaid printed out so well at that scale, since I've only done it for 1/12 and 1/16.

Glad to see the printed fabric sheet worked out for you John. Looks stellar.

I'm not sure how you applied it so in case you aren't aware, there is a product called SprayMount that is an adhesive in a spray can that would work perfectly for this. I've also used PhotoMount. These can be found in art supply stores, maybe even Michaels or Hobby Lobby carry it. I still have a can from years ago I still use for small applications.

This build is really progressing lil' brother and I continue to be amazed and in awe of your abilities and skill.

Curt …….I thought about using a punch…….but,like a dummy I drilled each hole 3 times starting with a pilot hole

My hats off to you then...you are "sick" ya know?
