After seeing Gramps selection i'm a little hesitant in showing this one, anyway here goes, it's taken me a bit too long doing this, sort of got fed up halfway through and it probably reflects in the build, to be honest my minds been on what i'm doing on the 1/1 (which is knackering me) paint is just rattle can ford burgandy red, a little seam filling and the useual lights, one thing i did try fro the first time was on the dash, i wanted to try out a method of getting the clock detail a bit better than my useual "file em out and stick lights behind so what i did was lay on some BMF first, then paint the whole thing with humbrol satin (coal) black, when ti was just about dry i rubbed over the clocks etc with a Q tip (well several in fact) to reveal the BMF, this was really a half assed attempt but it came out better than i expected, i'll make a better job of it next time, if your wonderin why i fitted the stock engine (although it's got the "hot heads" i wanted the chrysler engine for the garage dio hope ya like it,
