Thanks Z, some progress.I painted the exhaust silver then I dabbed on different color rust with a brush.I painted the chassis flat black and dabbed rust colors on the frame,suspension and axle then I brushed on brown chalk that I shaved into a powder over all of it.  |

A little progress on the interior.I used Testors flat gray primer spray on all the interior parts then I mixed flat white and flat black to get the light gray for the cloth parts.I still need to do more detailing and paint the drivers door panel tan for the replacement door.  |

The interior looks good. You should make the front buckets a different color, like they came from another car.

Thats a good idea but I'm going to keep them gray.It was in an accident but the interior survived.

Thanks Chip,I'm putting the spare tire on the drives side. I had to strip the chrome off the wheels,I soaked them in simple green for a few days and it worked great.I sprayed them with gray primer then brushed silver on the highlighted areas.I shaved black chalk and brushed it on the wheels for brake dust.the lettering is dry transfer.  |

Nice job on both the interior and the wheels and tires. Lettering looks to good, makes them look new.

I sprayed dull clear over the wheels then brushed brown chalk dust on them but I need to spend a little more time on them.

I think the wheels look wonderful. It's the lettering on the tires that looks new. I was thinking there must be a way you can make it look like it's been curbed a couple times. Just a little chewed up.

Thanks Chip.The lettering is dry transfer,not easy to work with.I sprayed dull clear over them then used chalk dust to weather them.
