By 70 this smog stuff was on most of the ford stuff. Even up here in canada. This is a Kansas City car btw : )

Thanks for the responses. More updates soon. It's moving along nicely. Something has to go wrong soon....

So here are a few more. Hood is done except for final wash and clean. Just have to add the twist locks. Here is a quick mock up as well. I made a trunk mat. 1970 was either plaid or this spatter pattern. I chose to replicate the latter. Looks just like the 1:1 : ). Comments welcome

Made a headliner. Added styrene in between the molded glass supports then used tape for the pieces in style if 1:1. Added the sail panel lights and some visors. A little trim work around edges and it's ready for polish and install.post-8987-0-33888600-1397533629_thumb.jp

Drilled out and foiled factory door handles. Still have to detail locks. Getting very close to putting it all together.

I wanted to make the door sill plates so I gave it a try. Photos show progress. Foiled and an aluminum wash to dull them a little and a ford decal from the parts box. Pretty happy with them
