Impalow Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 I haven't checked this thread for awhile... Amazing job Joe!... all those finicky little linkage parts are real patience testers, you did a superb job getting that all sorted.
slusher Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 Joe where did you buy the dice, and the mags at friend....??
mustang1989 Posted September 11, 2015 Author Posted September 11, 2015 Man I appreciate that Eric! Hopefully I can get this rascal finished by the end of the month.Carl: The fuzzy dice came from Hobbylinc and come in a lot of different colors. They've got some clear ones as well. The link: http://www.hobbylinc.com/cgi-bin/s8.cgi?str_s=dice&redir=1The magazines came from ebay. Here's the link for those: http://www.ebay.com/itm/171675328419?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
mustang1989 Posted September 11, 2015 Author Posted September 11, 2015 Well here we are with the interior about 70-80% completed. The aluminum steering column helped ALOT as well as the steering wheel from the Barris T Buggy kit. All brake and accelerator pedals are PE as well as the Hot Rod Magazine in the front seat. Instrument panel and radio trim are Chrome BMF. The steering wheel spokes and center are AB'd with Alclad. I still have a set of keys and some Oakley sunglasses to paint up and adhere to the seat beside the magazine. I've got some clean up to do here and there but it's getting closer folks.....and a far off shot to show overall progress....
disabled modeler Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 Joe... man that is looking nice...
Crazy Ed Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 Hi Joe The Truck is Coming right along and looking good. Wondering though, if that Steering Column isn't quite "cast in concrete" yet, it looks to me like you might want t extend it a bit to get some more space between the Wheel and Dash.
mustang1989 Posted September 11, 2015 Author Posted September 11, 2015 (edited) Thanks Mark, Tim and Ed!!!Ed: I don't know if its the angle of the photos or what but there's more room between the dash and the steering wheel than it looks. What I did have trouble with was getting the steering wheel off of the seat because the standoff bracket between the column and the dash was too long. Edited September 11, 2015 by mustang1989
Crazy Ed Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 Oh, Ok. Otherwise if it couldn't be lengthened I was going to suggest the addition of a Brodie Knob.
mustang1989 Posted September 11, 2015 Author Posted September 11, 2015 Say.................you may be on to something.......
mustang1989 Posted September 12, 2015 Author Posted September 12, 2015 Got this one in today. I love this stuff!!

slusher Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 Interior is looking awesome Joe and you just found the keys...
mustang1989 Posted September 13, 2015 Author Posted September 13, 2015 Thanks Carl!!! I'm gonna put a set of keys in the seat as well. lol
cobraman Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 Looking great ! Love the detail you are putting in this build.
mustang1989 Posted September 13, 2015 Author Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) Thanks Ray! Here's the latest .................. Edited September 13, 2015 by mustang1989
Crazy Ed Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 Nice touch's Joe. Hummm, Blues Brothers Sunglasses. This is assured to come out Great, As it seems You're on a Mission From God!!
slusher Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 Joe what did you use to hole everything to the seat??
Mopar - D Posted September 14, 2015 Posted September 14, 2015 Joe. Those little things are what make your build so impressive to look at. Keep it going can't wait to see this one in October.
mustang1989 Posted September 17, 2015 Author Posted September 17, 2015 Ed: Now that is funny right there! Thanks bud! Carl: I used a really small dot of super glue applied with a toothpick. Dan: Thanks Dan! It would be nice if I'm finished with it so I can take it but one things for sure; I'm not going to hurry things up at the last minute to meet a deadline. I'm either done with it or I aint. If not, then there'll be the Houston show next April. I'm still going regardless of this build's completion status though. Yesterday I spent two hours in the paint booth getting everything body wise painted red. It's Tamiya acrylic paint so I'm guessing it wouldn't take near as long to dry out as enamel would.
Crazy Ed Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Ok Joe, You spent 2 HOURS in a Paint Booth!? I'm Guessing you're just about ready to do a Cheech n Chong "Daves Not Here" skit!
mustang1989 Posted September 17, 2015 Author Posted September 17, 2015 (edited) I dare say...................yes. Overkill?...............probably yes. Overcautious? ..............definitely. I think I got everything covered in that 2 hours though to include re-shooting the cab and front fenders. I really didn't like how it turned out the first time. I may have a tailgate hinge or two got left out and that'll be about it. Edited September 17, 2015 by mustang1989
gatorincebu Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Awesome project! Great attention to detail and fine craftsmanship!! Be Well Gator
mustang1989 Posted September 17, 2015 Author Posted September 17, 2015 Preciate it Gator! I aint gonna lie, exterior gloss finishes are my weakness. I'll get this sucker nailed one way or another though.
