Here's a small update on the build.
Hosted on FotkiFrame painted, radiator hoses installed. seat, dash, and steering wheel in place.
I also installed front brake lines on this build. Check out the material I used for the brake lines in the photo below. Purchased material at Walmart.
I think this would also work for hood hold down straps.
Hosted on FotkiHosted on FotkiI have all the body panels painted orange. I used Rust-Oleum paint.
The roof will stay orange. I need to wait several days for the orange to dry, then tape off the hood and lower body and apply the blue.
The blue is Testors 1211 gloss dark blue. I tested this on a piece of scrap. It worked out well, lets hope it works on the real thing.
