The
first thing to start with was to sand down the mold marks that were
excessive.
The scripts were
applied BMF prior to painting. But not as seen on this pic, the BMF was
trimmed as close as possible to the script.
I painted the body
metallic crimson and white. White was applied first, then followed by
crimson
with masking. After the white was applied, I wiped the high points on
the
scripts with the tip of a toothpick.
Here is the body
before BMF ing the front fender.
..and after BMF
applied on the front fenders.
The door inners
were painted and BMF applied on handles, kickplate and loudspeaker
grille.
The grille was given a blackwash and high points wiped clean.
Here is an internal
pic following the assembly of front bench and side panels.
...and a view from
the front of the inner tub.
The dashboard...Flat
black paint on the speedo and others, wiped off on high
points.
Dash mounted in
the inner tub.
Body on rolling
wheels...
One last look at
the Chevrolet emblem before it is covered by the spare wheel....
I did not
like the vent windows being glued on the insides of the frames, so I
filed
off the flanges of the window and inserted the glass in the frame.
