That is a nice color.
I'm intrigued by the title, "working Interior". Window cranks turn, horn button spring loaded, seat slides forward and back, etc.

? How far are you going?
Or does it just mean that you now are working on the interior?

this was NOT easy. It's not perfect, but good enough for me. might be hard to tell, but there is foil where it shows on the photo above (sales brochure) The hardest part was trimming the foil. there are 3 instrument panel/gage panels front of the steering column, each is seperate.

Paint is polished out, came out pretty nice I think. I missed a few scratches I can see them, but maybe nobody else will haha! (under the paint)
I can't help but to play "mock up", it's just what keeps me going on a build!
The chrome needs to be cleaned, it's still dusty from 40 some years of shelf life hehe! Lucky me, the kustom tail lights were on this. Not sure if I will use the tailpipe tips or not. I have pretty much made up my mind on the boot though, it's gotta be white! I have the tuck wheel cover and it will be white as well as the shift knob. I think this will set it off nice and not be so plain looking.

Looks fantastic with those big whitewalls.

it's actually Pearl Green by Tamiya with Model Master Ultra Gloss Clear. First time I have used it, comes out pretty smooth actually...I have had some say it looks blue? NOT..hehe! I had another guy said it looked good in "teal"...goes to show how many different views everyone has with their computer set ups lol

That's it for tonight, maybe finish foiling tomorrow and it's all down hill from there.
