Thanks Dale really looking forward to finishing this one the way its turning out and that would be 2 builds completed this year. It's great to see you getting some of those projects finished mate. This will be another top notch build, might be time for a bigger display cabinet at this pace.

Really nice work on that engine Steve. A small tip that I could share with you is that I usually like to use a light coat of Tamiya Smoke on my engines to bring out some of the detail and to make the chrome look a little less "model like" and a little more "metal like". This build is taking on some good shape bud.

Thanks Dale does look heaps better than the pics , just couldnt get the correct lighting on it today, didnt know what to expect doing the flocking, got the flocking for free as the wifes friends mother passed and she had boxes full of craft stuff that was given to my wife which she allowed me to go through first and came across this and another couple of colors of flocking but was suprised how easy it was and the differance in the look. Hope to have the dash finished off tonight so I can get the interior finished off

Checking out the duplicolor stand today and noticed they had a paint called clear effex which is a glitter effect clear coat which says it has tiny metallic prism flakes that changes color in light. Just wondering if anybody has used this before and what effect it had as I wouldnt mind using it on the roof. Cheers Steve

Lookin' good so far Steve. Believe me I'm not picking in any way shape or form but you could go some aftermarket floor mats for that interior tub as well to add a little personalization to it. Again, this is looking superb!!

Great job, I'm liking this ! Can I suggest thin whitewall tyres or is it too late ? Looks like a sixties custom, bit of graphics on the roof, and bellflower exhaust ? ? I'm getting carried away, its yours and looks great !

Thanks everyone for the comments. Joe by no means will I take offense to suggestions as I think that's what we are all here for to share but what I have in mind is that I have some black and grey flocking that I will try and use on the existing mats and Martin all good suggestions but have another one of these kits that I will be turning into a low rider with a little wilder paint scheme.

Kind of slowed down the past couple of weeks Dale with work picking up and getting some jobs around the house done. Hope to have this one done in the next couple of weeks so might have an update in a day or so but started playing with a dodge ram that I hope to have a few pics up tonight. Also thanks Steve for your comment. Cheers Steve
