Well, i started this one early in the year, and seriously lost interest as it was to be a race trailer and drag car, as i have a few days before next months build starts, i thought i should drag it out and at least finish this part of the build. It started life as an Escalade, but i don't like the front end, so i swapped it out for a 300C front nose...        WELL, now your up to speed, this is where it is at the moment, i am thinking of just going a little crazy on the paint job as there is next to nothing engine wise, it's molded in there, so a Mini-truck paint job might the only thing that saves it..  |

No engine? Molded in there? Oh No cant-believe-my-eyes-smiley-emoticon
One of your crazy paint jobs would save a car that had been through a crusher I think.

Thanks for the encouragement guys, and yes, only a little bit crazy.....  Well, i started on the interior, pretty basic, not going over the top as the paint and front end will be the focal of this one. BEFORE STITCHING.  AFTER STITCHING..  |

Appears that you swapped the rear window also. You didn't mention that.  |

Of all the work you do to a model, it's your mirror like paint finishes that I like the most Dale. You sure know how to make 'em shine man. Good recovery pal.  |

Joe, it is the part i enjoy the most, and i can see what i'm doing, unlike the tiny detailing, i'm starting to struggle sometimes. cant-believe-my-eyes-smiley-emoticon |
