Re: Revell '56 Ford F-100 - Interior Appr 80% Complete 09/13

I just wasn't feelin' the paint job from earlier so in the brake fluid it went to strip everything and started the whole process over again only this time the paint came out smoother and I actually made it to the clear coat this time around Here it is with the paint and the clear. I still have to apply the flames (which I ordered an adhesive template today from Australia) and clear it again. Then it'll be down to polishing and buffing out the clear. We're gettin' there folks!
Here's a mock up with the grille just stuck in place:

Things are crawlin' along with this build. Nothing to post pics about yet. I mean all I'd be posting is a tail gate painted, then maybe some steps and the hood scoop. I will say this , the next update will be a big one so just know that I am in fact still progressing with this one. 12 more days to go.............. :clockwatch:

So far so good here. It's been a bit since my last update but I've been painting body parts now for the last two weeks. Here's a quick test fit. I need to raise the front end just a tad but I'm likin' it so far. Flames came in last night so I hope to get started on that pretty quick.
