I just went back to the start to read everything, and I'm impressed. You've really turned this kit into something special.
Keep it up!

gasdriverca Thank you for the video! Hmmm, this seat belt can't reach that position and I don't have another longer one, I have to improvise.
TightDA8 I spend a lot of work on this one, but I am enjoying a lot. Thank you!.
tuned.by.twenty Thank you.

Here is the crossbar done...


Cables painted flat black.

Heres a picture where you can set the seatbelts if it'll help and heres one for reference.

[gasdriverca]

Another question I have is what did you use for these ties?(picture enclosed pointing to what I mean) It looks really good.

[AAlmeida]

gasdriverca Thank you for the pictures, it'll help a lot for sure.
Those straps are made using 1.0mm Micro Masking Tape, after glued I weathered with thinned flat black.
Here is the tape:


Thank you for help and support.

I don't have an old bulb so, here is my solution for the steering wheel wire,
First I heat the plastic bar and stretched to the wire thickness. Picked a wire for twist base...

... rolling up

I pass over the flame of a candle

Side by side with the steering wheels


Almost in the finishing line... this is the last detail I add, those connectors are showed on the picture sent by gasdriverca, thank you again.
Rounded bar for hose or wire and hexagonal bar for connectors

Painted

The wheels were assembled


I hope to finish or close by that in the next weekend.

I especially like how you enhanced the roll cage. Nicely done. A few pictures back it still looks almost naked. Then you put your effort into it.

Great work with your simple - yet effective - modifcations.

The rollcage looks just a bit oversized at my eyes, nevertheless Antonio you did a very impressive and effective job on this cockpit. Bravo !!!

[gasdriverca]

What I generally use for the steering wheel wire is the inside wire from the core of old car speakers that suround the magnet,its about the thickness you require for the wire to be in scale or close too it!

[sam01contact]

I love what you are doing with the rollcage!

[AAlmeida]

godfather23 Thank you Robert!
Robi J I think it is Robi, but in this kit I not worry about size, angles, diameter I just trying a good looking on this one. Thank you!
gasdriverca I never try that before, thank you for the tip.
sam01contact This is my second kit since I back to hobby, and I trying one old racing car looking, may be I exaggerated a little the worn look .
