i got a tip for you, something i have wanted to do for a long time. take a trip to your nearest tobaconist and ask to look at some cigars, alot of them are packaged with very fine ( wafer thin ) sheets of real wood that would easily be cut down to fit into the inserts on your doors.
hope you find this of some interest

Ok got a little progess.The Flattie is done.I painted it the same color as the woody is going to be green metal flake from testors.  The distibutor is from pro-tech.  I know you guys are thinking (or even saying),Where's the intake and carbs?The answer to that question is,I'm waiting on them to arrive from Model Express.The induction is going to be a MCG triple deuce intake with 3 MCG Strombergs.Does anyone know what I have to use to prep the intake since it is resin? Thanx for lookin'. Jeremy |

I soak my resin parts in Whitney's Whitewall cleaner over night, wash off with luke warm water and dish soap. Let it air dry and fit and paint as you wish. Paul

That is really coming along nicely Jeremy! I like the green and wood combination. They look great together, IMHO.
