Very nice. I would have made mine black with gold if I used black for the body. But hey, it's your model, not mine. Let's keep the updates rolling on in.

EDIT to include second pic.

It's not done yet. Since this pic, I have added a strip of BMF on the horizontal stripe (I know it's supposed to be leather like the rest of the seat, but it looks good!) As well as around the top edges of the back part of the seat (This is how it is on the 1:1). Still some more work to do, then I think I will shoot a dullcote over it all to remove the sheen.

What do you think?

Alright I'm gonna throw you a big bone to chew on while I'm away...

Well i'm back home after about 6 weeks of almost constant traveling. I sat down and did some BMF on the Pimpin' Lincoln today. Man, what a PITA it was to do the fender trim... I actually chipped the paint a little on the front fenders right along the edge of the BMF, but I'm not gonna try to fix it. I've tried fixing minor flaws in the past, and the result was worse than the original problem, or it was not worth the effort.

Anyways, I'll have some pics when the BMF is done. I'll try to get it done before I hit the road on Thursday again.

I've slowly been getting some work done on this sled, and I don't want to jinx anything, but the end is almost within sight!

You can se that I did some more detail work on the interior. Below, you can see the flocking I put on the carpet. Plush!

In the pic below, the light isn't great but the BMF is done. I had a hard time with the vent window frames on both sides, but it's good enough for me. I replaced the piece at the top of the windshield because it had too many wrinkes in it.

Since this pic, I drybrushed the rear fender emblems with silver, and shot some more clear pearl over the whole thing.

Now I'm working on setting the ride height. I have to make new wire axles because the kit ones aren't long enough for the Kranze LXZ's, and I have to drill new mounting holes in the chassis to get it to sit lower.

I'll be putting the engine in, but it's gonna be basic black. The hood won't be glued shut, but I won't be opening it ever anyways.

Feedback appreciated!

Phil, perfection takes time.
That is looking killer. Great BMF job, and tough at that.
Look forward to more updates.
