LunaticRick Posted May 31, 2014 Author Posted May 31, 2014 Thanks all for the great comments! Bruce Coy; I don't have any WIPs pics of the seats or decals, but I'll explain a little. Nothing I did was anything special though. I used photos I took to make the valve covers, air cleaner, windshield & vent, and front & rear license plate decals. I edited them on the computer for the size I needed. I used a Testors decal making kit to print them on them applied them. The leather for the seats was made from a bits & pieces bag I bought at Michael's hobby store. I thin the leather on the back side to get it about a 1/32" thick an wouldn't look so bulky. I then used a thin metal ruler's edge, tapping with a small hammer to get the lines for the "ribbed" look. I applied it to the seats using 3M spray adhesive then trimmed the edges. I got this tip from BMC, Brian's Models Cars which closed up some time ago. I downloaded all his tips & tricks, so if you would like it, PM me and I'll try to send you a copy of that tutorial. Rick
