When I get back to my own house I'll have to look them out and try them |

I'm sure going to be watching since I have this same kit. I'm anxious to see what you do with it and how you like it.

It seems ok so far, there's a couple of small areas above the lights that had to be filler and mould lines one top of the fenders frone and back between the chrome and trim around the top but that seems to be all. I just hope I have enough foil, lol |

Nice. Counting Cars has SOME good inspiration builds. Yup, I tend to prefer the shows that do custom stuff, top gear/the grand tour is ok for the challenges but the stock ferraris and stuff just aren't interesting to me (except as parts donors, lol) |

Garage Monkey has some nice builds msot of the time, but I don't care for their scripts. |

Made a start on the interior tonight since it's too wet to do any painting. Since I want a mexican blanket interior, (but trimmed so not rat rod style) I'm using thread and double sided tape. It's something I saw done on another forum last year and I thought it would work on this. The ingredients for ir are thin double sided tape and lots of colours of sewing thread, with the thread placed side by side on the tape. Not the fasted of jobs but pretty simple to do. The reason for using thin tape is so that it will fit into the moulded in tuck'n'roll on the seats rather than just cover it. I'll be putting all the interior chrome on with foil before the tape, and the exposed non chrome parts of the seat will be red.   I messed up my first attempt so this is where I am with the second  |

Lol, I spoke too soon, 3 hours for one squab but it'll give me something to do, and at least I don't have to worry about it matching.  |
