The interior tub is almost done now, lacking a bit of detail painting and touch up. I had to decant (spray some paint into a jar) some of the tan paint for touch up, and fixed the yellow paint that managed to get on the seats and door panels.
The seats, dash and shifter are now glued into place, as is the steering wheel. I wound up cutting the top rim of the steering wheel away as it had a some warp to it.
The hood is repainted so with a bit of luck the striping can begin in a couple of days! Now I need to decide if I want a single wide stripe or two narrower stripes from the nose to the back of the trunk.
I even found time to test fit a few parts to the engine while I was at it. So he water pump and starter need painted and holes need drilled into the fan and pulley assembly, and the engine will be a little farther along.
The demon has some putty in it now and soon I can begin to shape and smooth it up as well.
I had originally hoped to keep this blog up every day, but it has come to my attention that that is a lot harder than it would seem. My days are pretty full already for now and building time is getting precious. So, I am going to blog every other day unless I happen to luck out and find some extra time somewhere.
Hopefully that will work, and I will try to post at least every other day as much as possible.
