    The interior is ready !

    I'm applying another coat of paint for the body after that I do my vinyl top .... Is it 3shield who done a vinyl top ? How many "coat" of masking tape you apply ? And do you paint it Flat Black or gloss ?

    edit : I just saw you told that you took satin black ....

    It's looking good!!!

    Make sure you use only one layer of tape, and slightly overlap it at the seams. Then, use a flat, or semi-flat black paint and buff it till you get the desired sheen. Gloss black will leave it too shiney.

    Check with Tim Mishlan @ 740-732-5579.... He has hundreds of models, alot of older out of production kits too.

    I think you can reach him @ specauto@nobleco.net also.

    I don't know if detail masters still carries it, but i have a source for a limited supply of them I gave a friend of mine, who incidently does alot of DM's artwork, make me several sets. He still has the artwork, and i can get a few every now and then. He did them off of my original emblems from my car in both 1/24 and 1/18.

    AJ,

    Sorry I forgot you on the photo-etched emblems, but right now they will be difficult to get. My supply is based on how often he places orders, and how full his orders are. Usually he just hangs my emblems on a rack that he is having made for himself.
