Great build. What did you use for the seatbelt material?

I use surgical tape I paint the desired color cut into strips. Nice to have one side sticky.

Great idea. I use ribbon but that looks more realistic.

I did get some more work today but had big  mistake and messed up the front bumper and had to strip it back down to bare plastic and repaint it. :( 

folded the photo-etch wipers, added the rear view mirror, door handles, Sunvisors, rear bumper, trunk lid letters and rear license plate.

I Uv clear resin cast the fog light lenses and modified the grill bars and emblem. Using a photo-etch grill.

I am really bummed about the bumper. Still a bit more to do.

Looking very nice with all the extra working features you added,

Thank you. Just a few more details left and it will be done once the bumper chrome cures enough. As long as I don’t mess it up again.

I have finished the build and moving on to my next build, a 1957 Porsche 356 Carrera Speedster. I will be taking pictures and posting to under glass shortly.

I don't know how I missed this, what a stellar build. Really love all the little details, especially the interior and chassis. 

Thank you! I assume you saw it in under glass?

Yes, looks awesome completed. I wanted to comment on the build proccess itself. 

Ah, Thank you! I hope it inspires some people. If I can make the conversion anyone can. 😊

Brilliant work on this and I'm really liking the whole LED light deal that you pulled off with the dash, tail and headlights. Color is choice as is the shine of it Don.

Thank You! My family won’t let me do a build without the lighting any more. :)
