Wel, I have the 'inside' done. Just have to slip the body over it. Dash and winshield are joined and will be installed after paint. If I can pull off the paint job I am planning, it will disqualify this build from this forum. But I'll post a link to it.

Just an update. I usually have a model almost finished before I start the next one. In this case, I'm deep into the next one. Paint problems. I tried Automotive HOK candy blue over a goldleaf lacquer base with automotive clear on top. Firstly, I should have known better that to paint the pieces separatly using candy paint. Colors don't match well enough for me. Secondly, coats of candy and clear ended up way too thick and the doors won't close. So, I'll be rethinking the entire paint job.

Well, I sanded off the grafix once again, and redid them. I'm glad I did. looks better this time. Had a small amount of lift around the edge of the airbrushing, but managed to smooth most of it out being more careful with the rest of the clear coats. Had to do a little repair work on the doors because of the paint buildup. If yer having opening doors and doing a intricate paint job, don't fit them too close. Amount of paint buildup can surprise you. I cleared with RM automotive clear coat. Now making some inner door panels out of heavy duty kitchen aluminum sheeting....PITA.

Ok, Finally got this under control. Igor is checking for leaks on the rear mounted radiator and then it's off to the photo studio. After that, it will be heading to the Freakin Shelf section.
