So will using "turtle" wax make the decals smooth? And should I apply it any differently? I also assume you mean let it sit for like a week when you say "set up"



Also for Jdmhotrod: yep this is the same one you sold me for $3 bucks. It has been a lot bigger of a hasstle to get it to look the way I wanted but it's ok (LOTS' of sanding).

Well sorry so slow, but here's some progress. I've done the front half of the interior. The rear end/speaker set up has just been started. I still have alot to go, but this pick below shows my basic vision. I plan on adding some speaker wire to the 'alpine' amp. I'll have some body picks too...I've finished the suspension and added the wing





I know the holes for the speakers are a little too big, but no worries, I'll be using some putty to fill it in (besides I'm flocking it anyway)


p.s. first attempt at using quick type epoxy and I'm not liking it...it just won't stiff up..after about 4 hours, still like putty and I can't sand it

Sounds like you did'nt put in enough hardener. Cool looking project man

[AsongKar]

you did not mix well...still some white and yellow patches...and minimum time for it to dry is 6 hours depend on the temperature of your country....singapore is a very hot place....so sometimes we can do sanding immediately after 6 hours...
