Almost finished inside of here . The pe straps for the tank worked out well . Theres a pe for the instruments and a print for the gauges that i'll wait to apply after the interior is painted .  |

The little details are really improving this old kit. Will look even better when the paint is one. Keep her going Carl.

Steve , good recomendation then , comming from you and John . . I looked on SprueBros and thet have a good selection of SmallShop . Next time i order from them i'm getting one . I decided to have the doors open . So that meant more details behind the dash . I put in the pe dash braces and ran some wiring .  |

Gar , yes indeed those knobs are made with c.a. I have tried this method for year but never get a spherical knob. Can you explain the trick? Nice job! Darío |

Andy ,glad you like . Master not . Dario , i brush the tip of the wire with c.a. accelerator and then put the tip of the wire into a pool of c.a. , just deep enough to form the knob .Dont hold the wire in the c.a. pool too long or the entire pool of c.a. when begin hardening . The first dip wont form much of a knob . Wait till the knob hardens and then dip it again .After about 3 dippings re-brush with c.a. accelerator . It takes about 5-6 dippings to get the correct size . Joe , Theses knobs on the dash and floor shifters were done with the above method .  |
