Only flaw I can see is ...............nothing! The engine matches the paint. Top stuff under and on the bonnet, Al.

Thanks Max.

Interior is well underway. Just needs a little more work on the dashboard.

I'm impressed with the carpet flocking, something I could never get right. The gloss shine is spot on, something else i'll have to look into.

Engine does look excellent, something we all can learn from. White seats are bland an so flat (unwrinkled) to me, but I've done one model with white interior so who am I to quibble with the choice.

Like the dash - it stands out nice. The pattern on the seats really screams for a second color, maybe gold?

Get outta here!!! flocking is easy peasy!!

The seats and door cars were done with Tamiya Matt white, then given two light coats of rattle can clear, to simulate the slight shine on vynl/leather

Well I think all that the seats need is just a little bit shading with maybe light greys or cream colour.

Beautiful job, Al. The use of the color gold fits the luxury of the model '300' back then.

Thanks guys.

So this is how she sits now. I like the Candy Apple green much better than the red.

Al, looks super. A nice perfect stance for a mild custom. I also like the green. Plus the engine detailing is very good.
