Looks very real! The leather look you achieved is impressive

Hi all I haven't forgotten this just been waiting for better weather (spraying in the shed has been so cold) im pleased how the gloss has turned out on this.

Started lighting up the GT40, just got to figure out how to make the indicators flash and how to add the fibre optics for lighting up the dashboard

More work on this one.
More work on this one (the rear clam shell is just rested on there to see how it looks)

Things will slow down on this for a while as I'm waiting for a flasher circuit board for the indicators, some fibre optics for the dashboard and some switches to operate all the lights, all due mid to late February. 

Anyway here is the next update on this awesome kit.

Well the fibre optics arrived ahead of schedule so I tried them out, well pleased with the results got 2 more to add for the indicators but have to wait for the flasher circuit board.

Well I've wasted all weekend trying to get flashing indicators to work (I even bought so called flashing leds, which they didnt) so I've admitted defeat it won't have operating indicators, heres the next installment of the GT40

Looking very realistic I like the extra dimension your lighting adds to build. Well done.

There is 1 other thing missing from this kit, there is no indicator stalk (which is also the main beam ) luckily its a very simple set up so easy to scratch build also the steering shaft is too long and protrudes too far into the cabin (unfortunately I don't have the equipment to alter that but if you had a mill you could)

Hi all more work on the GT40 

[kpnuts]

Hi all more work on this,ive made some of the many fuel lines.

I bought a tray to use as the base for it to sit on. Can you guess the setting im going to put it in.

[fordrodnkustom]

Looks great, I like the lights for sure. Got me stumped on the setting you're going for though..

[kpnuts]

Started work on the setting for this

[kpnuts]

This is what happens when you know next to nothing about electronics i ordered the wrong switches they only turn the lights off if you keep them pressed, ive ordered some on off toggle switches hope that works.
