Kennyboy Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 Thanks again guys! Been working on the seats......opening up all the belt harness holes. They will be painted the same as the original seats, (suede blue centers with black bolsters and neon yellow accents.) Also, been cleaning up the flash and sinkmarks on the underbody/suspension to get them ready for paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanesteele240 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Ken this is awesome work as usual. I just finished this kit. It was not that bad. I had pre trashed it in my head but it proved me wrong and that engine would be a great swap for some other builds. Keep it up. Cant wait to see how bad this makes my post look Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennyboy Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 (edited) Nah Gary, not trying to make anyone look bad with this... Just trying to do some justice to the car and show that there is potential there to end up with a nice display when completed. Thank you for the kind words! I will be putting up pics soon of progress.....I have been doing a LOT of cleanup and modification to get the chassis/interior ready for paint.

Kennyboy Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 How did you do the coloring on the tip of the exhaust? Bobthehobbyguy Three different colors of Sharpie. The first was blue near the tip, then purple, then I used yellow to blend into the other colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKerry Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Kool beans, Sharpies work great. I use them a lot on my stuff as well. Copper, bronze, brass, black and silver and red and blue.... Great to work with as you did here Ken... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shardik Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 This is coming along very nicely, Ken. I was surprised you didn't remove the molded in seat belts in favor of after market or scratch built units until I saw that your detail painting skills make such an exchange unnecessary . I hope you don't mind that I copied the photo of your NOS system so I could create some decals for my next build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
