Here's a few update pics of the finished interior. All is in mockup with the yellow stuff holding things in place.
Started the BMF...
Carpet laid down. The Steering wheel left OFF to see how things line up. Piping not added to seats yet.
The box of Tapes in seat....
Piping added and the interior is pretty much complete. The E brake handle will be added when the whole interior is in final assembly...

Thank you Bruce....it's starting to get there. The Body is in Primer now and ready for a few touch-up spot putty. I'm still debating whether to use the kit windows or make my own. I've test fit the kits and it fits tight...which is no problem but...they're a little thick. I still have the time to build my own. I might just do that. The engine bay is pretty much up next. I'll have a few update pics on that soon.

Here are a few progress pics of the body ( in primer) on the chassis. I got the ride height where it should be. I had to add a new mounting blocks in the rear spring area to achieve that. The headliner color has been shot already. The engine bay color also. Some light sanding on the body and it's Color time.

Thanks Bruce.... Got the Chrome finished(Alclad) and am working on the linkage for the Tri-Carbs. Motor is painted and ready to enstall. The Chassis is complete except for that. As soon as I can get that Motor in..I'll shoot update pics of the finished chassis. Then...the Body will get paint. Here is a look at the Chrome work. Thanks for looking in folks.....

The re-chrome job looks great. You got me in the mood to do a couple of 57s.

Well...the chassis is finished and on its feet. The engine is finished and in. The heater hoses are not hooked up on the engine as that has to be done after the body is on. The brake lines have to wait until then also. Here are a few pics.... Chassis bottom.....
Engine bay.....

Here is a progress update....for somebody...it looks like NO ONE posts here anymore..... The body was shot with Duplicolor and will be rubbed out in a few days. I really like this color of blue. Looking at the reference pics I have of the car...it seems pretty darn close. I tried something new on this body. I taped all the Chrome off as to not get any paint on them at all. I think it will make the BMF a lot smoother when it is applied. Here are a few pics.....
IN THE PAINT BOOTH....
THE TAPE OFF and Mounted to chassis(mocked up)
Thank you to whom ever looks in....

Your car is magnificent! Wiring, plumbing and paint are your usual Top Notch building. Looks like you may have it finished in time for the Performance Model Show this week end.
