That Sucks - I get three of four a week and they always drive me nuts.

'Preciate it Stuart!!

The past few days have been spent on body prep for paint. Sanding, filing, filling and all that crap. Anyhow, moving right to the "meat and potatoes" of the post.......
I painted the cab this morning with Tamiya Acrylic Red X-7 and will be letting it dry out for the rest of the day. So far I'm ok with it but have one paint run on the R/H side that I'll have to wet sand out. It'll be a little tricky because it's right on a high point but I think if I'm careful enough I'll be ok.

Todays progress.....

mhhh yes , he seems red

Fine work till now

Thanks BsYamato! Hopefully I'll get some more quality paint time in tomorrow morning.

seeing red... in this case a good thing

Nice paint work. Red-y to move on to the next steps?

Thanks stik, Lyle and gino! I've been working on sanding and smoothing the last two days. I'm ready to lay some more freekin' paint down now!!!!!!!!

Got 'em in the mail yesterday....

Well here we are with the interior about 70-80% completed. The aluminum steering column helped ALOT as well as the steering wheel from the Barris T Buggy kit. All brake and accelerator pedals are PE as well as the Hot Rod Magazine in the front seat. Instrument panel and radio trim are Chrome BMF. The steering wheel spokes and center are AB'd with Alclad. I still have a set of keys and some Oakley sunglasses to paint up and adhere to the seat beside the magazine. I've got some clean up to do here and there but it's getting closer folks.....







and a far off shot to show overall progress....
