Paint's looking good, John.
Nice and slick

 

[Grendels]

Thank you. Since Scott extended the deadline, I have not been rushing this one. It will be finished today however. I will have some photos later tonight or tomorrow.

 

[Grendels]

As promised, here are a few photos:

Rear bumper it is not a good photo, but the spot where the tail lights go has been given the Alclad chrome treatment.



Passenger compartment, the seats are not glued in yet:



Instrument panel:



Passenger compartment glued down, just missing the seats and a bit of clean up paint:

Pity you scrapped the lighting... I'm sure after the contest is over you'll end up putting it all in there afterward! Love the work you've done on it so far. My Ecto didn't have much detail at all. That engine is off the hook... but what happened to the spark plug wires? I'm sure you probably just haven't gotten around to them yet. Love the way it looks so far bro. You really do some excellent work and I'm proud to call you a friend!

The spark plug wires are there, you just need to look at earlier photos to see them. Here is one photo of it before I finished up the engine:



I am about to go up stairs, put on the Optivisor and look over the interior to make sure everything looks good.

That is some engine build up, looks like its too dangerous to put your hand in there!

Guess I missed that photo... looks great bro!

Engine's looking really good, John

 

[Solander]

Awesome! Love all that business of the engine area - it makes it look incredibly realistic.
Thumbs up!

 

[Grendels]

Thanks all!

Here is the next update:

It's a Honda part 19: Paint and wires

Almost done now, just have a bit of touch up paint to do and the rear tail light.

 

[LrdSatyr8]

Now I see the spark plugs... that's an awesome idea with the shrink tubing... gonna have to try that sometime! Looking good my friend... can't wait to see this puppy complete!

 

[Grendels]

Thanks and with the shrink tube it will look correct as well.

Great vid John!

 

[Cave_Dweller]

That engine looks really cool, not to mention painted very nicely. Sweet car, grendels!

 

[Grendels]

Thanks! I should have this one done on Friday. Since the contest got delayed a week, I slowed down and fixed a few bits that were bothering me.
