Thanks for the kudos on Joseph's turn out with his pig fellas.

Still moving on this one. Got the interior tub, seats and dashboard painted. I managed to play with the color tones enough to where there the correct variations throughout the interior. Still working on a couple of issues with it but should have pics up by the weekend.

Those floor mats look real fine except for the bow tie

Great work on the interior bits Joe!

LOLOL!!! No No No Sir. It's actually the bowties that make those mats look so good.

Thanks Stuart.

This interior is long from being done. I'm just posting this to post some progress. I've been working on the color tones and surface textures with the differences in the seat fabric, carpet and on the door panels by using different colored pastels. You can see the contrasting colors on the seat between the weaved and the smooth sections of the drivers seat. That seat will directly contrast the passengers side seat which hasn't been touched up yet. I've got the door handle/ switch bezel painted but still have to fill in the details on those and then get the foot pedals taken care of.

Progress so far:

I’m not seeing the image. Maybe the hosting site needs to make your image public or published?

GOT IT!!

Ok gang. I've got the interior tub pretty much done except for the foot pedals. I really like this photo as it shows the color contrast on the seats very well. I finished up the passengers seat this morning with the color contrast. I left the pleated part of the seat the original color that I painted it and used a mixture of red with a little black ground up pastel and dry brushed it onto smooth parts of the seat to slightly darken the color tone for a subtle yet highly noticeable contrast. I was surprised with the results. Everything is adhered into place. The door handle/ switch bezels and all details have been painted here and I thought I'd add a Coke to the cup holder. I mean....why not? I'm smilin' so why not have a Coke to go with it?

Nice and RED! I like it a lot!
