Lot of serious custom work is right! Really like the paint, body and interior, and that Killer engine. What color is the interior paint?

It's just white primer and non metalic gold from duplicolour. Possibly gold no.3

You guys are too kind, with the little filler it needs done before repainting I really should get back on it.

Well after 4 years its time to get this finished. All it really needs is the body filled and painted.   so after r years in a box some parts have gone missing such as lights and the grille but it was from the amt 50 chevy and luckily i have one in the stash so the grille wont be a problem and i should have some suitable lights too. I wont be doing a full on build with it, just getting it painted and finshed |

Well I wasn't planning to make any changes to this but the chevy grille wasn't hitting the spot for me so its been put back to stockish using parts from the chopped 48 kit. I also swapped the lower bars of the wood for sqare which I would have done when first built if i had some    next is fine tuning the filler then its paint time. I'll probably do it in a dark red like it was originaly |

I didn't feel like rubbing down filler for another day so this afternoon i made a couple of surf boards from lolly sticks and coffee stirrers. Still some refining to do such as making them thinner but the idea seems to be working ok   |

Cheers guys. Tosay I made the roof rack from lolly sticks again and I thinned the boards some more but I think I might knock another couple of mill from each side to about half the width of the outer sticks so they dont cover the roof so much, more like the old skool longboards maybe. Hoping to get it painted next week after works done, possibly in brandywine house of colour over gold but we'll see what takes my fancy then. It'll be back in the box for a short time then so I can continue on the escort as my plastic should be here the morn   |
