Getting back to my 68 KR-8. The body has been wet sanded and now its time to do some trim work. With some Bare Metal Foil (Brushed Aluminum), a ruler, Q-tip and toothpick I set to work. Except for some bumper work on my 65 2+2 I've yet to really get into using this stuff. Every little scrap can get used -

Too funny... :lol: :lol: :lol: As for getting off your butt, there is still plenty of time to get lots of stuff built. No need to rush. -

Thanks Andy and Holmes Built the wheels and mocked them up on the chassis. I'll need to sand them down a bit to get rid of the seam line and make them look like they've been driven on. I think all of the rear plumbing is completed except for the fuel tank filler. When I dry fitted the body and the rear hatch it didn't match up correctly so I removed it for now. I hope I don't lose the darn thing. I drilled out the exhaust pipes I then made the harness for the drivers seat using some tamiya tape. I don't have a clue what they looked like for this particular car and none of the kits -

Thanks Trash Not much to show today. Last night I gave the body a second cote of white paint ( I HATE WHITE PAINT). I spent the rest of the evening painting and assembling all kinds of bits and bobs and hoses. Lots of tedious stuff. Hopefully by the time I'm done with all that the body will be ready to be handled. I hate working with white paint! -

Here's the finished instrument panel Front suspension installed Painting and building the cage I seriously thought about pluming the fire estinguisher (Red Bottle) but photos of these cars have been hard for me to find let alone photos on the interior. I'd have no idea where to run the tubing to. The top of the body also got a shot of white Thanks for taking the time to look at my work -

What a better way to start the 7/ Eleven Mustang build then with a hot cup of 7/ Eleven coffee? Mmmm now I'm ready to maul some plastic. The 600+HP Rouche motor. The directions called out for the motor to be painted silver. To be honest I couldn't find anything that proved or disproved thatand since I like the Ford Blue better I went with that instead. I just like it better :102: Distributor set The painting and assembly of the frame work also started. here you can see the battery box in place and the oil tank drying Radiator and cover Instrument panel -
