AWESOME

Excellent job, another great model to look forward to from you

Did you use a P/E detail set with the kit aside from the belts?

Looks grouse so far

I see you even have the correct Y shape seatbelts - nice touch! Should the horizontal crossbar of the rollcage behind the seats be there on the 2001 car? Can't remember...

Looks like you assembled and filled the rollcage before painting and fitting it in one piece. Did this make it harder to thread the seatbelts up?

One more question... what camera do you use, looks like a Kodak?

Wow! How did you know it was a Kodak? It's a dc3400. You might be right abou the bar,I am not sure which one I used for reference. I alwas glue up the rollcage with liquid cement(ProWeld) ahead of paint for strength. It does make painting hard sometimes but I like it sturdy. I also add a cross bar that hides under the dash for extra strength. I usually just do the belts on the seats by themselves then install the seats, then lay the belts to roll cage over top them at the seat openings after the cage is installed. It appears the spare tire rack hinges on that bar.

Nothing too freaky :alien2: I noticed the Kodak file format. I've got a smilar camera, a 4800, which is pretty good except the minimum focus distance is 20cm. Would be nice to have something that could focus closer.

I like your photography a lot, pics are very clear and crisp.

Thought so with the roll cage I'm going to have to do the same on my Evo VI in order to get the door sills arranged properly. Didn't think about painting it, shouldn't be too much of a hassle though, right? Thanks for the info.

Look at that, working on the same Project that I am.

Very nice so far. Nice work.

I've just started on my Focus. Have the Body Primered up.


Hopefully my interior and chassis will turn out as good as yours.
