awesome bonnet, interior looks sweet too. I'll be following this one. ^_^
Orange looks really sweet on it... I'm doing this same kit right now, and thought about orange, but decided on a purple/blue. I kind of wish I went with the orange now. :D

:D Hi guys, and thanks to you all for your comments!
This I have done: she isnīt completed yet, because I had to watch her for a while, to decide how I can get some black to the orange. I havenīt a good printer, so no decals to do.
I decidet to built a vinyl tribal from BareMetalFoil black-chrome.
At first the template made of paper and tape.
http://img475.imageshack.us/img475/3323/dsc017420gj.jpg (http://imageshack.us)
Besides I decidet to change the steering wheel (thanx to Fujimiīs ReAmemiya). http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/1193/dsc017455ab.jpg (http://imageshack.us)
All of the lights and the finish on the intercooler are done, too. Some mesh at the headlights and hood, better pics will follow soon.
Please enjoy :D

Wow nice progress and work, love the color and the interior is great. Also nice thinkin on how to do the tribal design
Two things tho..the tribal design looks a little too 3-d, would it be possible to maybe hit it with some clear n polish it out a little?, so it doesnt look as thick n to be more like a vinyl deal.
the other is reguarding the safty harnesses in the interior. When the belts are mounted they are supposed to go straight back either to a roll cage bar or a stand alone horizontal support bar. It can be no closer than a little over a foot or some 40cm straight back behind the seats. Its really unsafe to go straight down with them because in the event of an accident when the body try's to keep accelerating foward it pushes in the belt and causes the spine to compress and leads to serious injury and death ;) Im just sayin for futrure knowldge.
But anyway it is looking really nice all around :thumbsup:

Thank you for your comment WRC_413X :icon16:.
With the seat belts you are absolutely right. I saw a few weeks ago how to fit them correctly, but I had mine still done. And yes, for next time they will run to the direction of the b- pillar and stay at the hight of driver´s chest.
For my tribal, I think for first ever done it turned out good. The 3D look is that what I wanted! If I had more skills, I did a dragon- tribal.
Anyway, I started this kit for a while and became a member here after that, so because of this case is the previos info in another forum. There I talked about my problems with the paintwork and running laquer:banghead:. I will not touch this body more with any paint, because I haven´t enough of my orange if something goes wrong again. And the big benefit of BMF black-chrome is the gloss, and it can be removed without any damage on the paint.:wink:
Next progress will shown here, too- from beginning:grinyes:
I´m still learning, comments are welcome!

Iīm very sorry for all of you who liked my stripes, but they are gone. I had a feeling that can be too much! I think smooth orange is ok, but on some of my next projects I will try again :wink:
Ok, nearly completed, the last fit for test. Then the rear view mirrors, shift knob, hand brake, new steering wheel, rear wing, number plate- completed!

Thanks, this is what I like on Eduard seat belts.
The stitch is there, but itīs white print on black paint, which can split off during bending:disappoin. Itīs the second set Iīm using, on the first one everything worked perfectly but on this one I had some troubles with the paint. I have the 3rd one unused, I will see if only this had troubles or if only the first one had non... I will tell you:lol:
