Hey Ed...I hear you on that for sure.

Hey Mark....I've started it and it's on the back straight now. But I could post pics of what I've done to it thus far.

Thanks for the interest guys.

Thanks, Gary and Daytona. I'm thinking mpc made that steering wheel a little too small but I used it anyway. had to cut one of the braces off. the race car had 2 braces instead of 3.

Gary Davis

It(the steering wheel) looks good to me in the pics. Mark...what did you use for your gauge Bezels? They sure look good...

Gary, the guage bezels are just styrene discs punched out with my hole puncher tool.  punched to the same size as the guages that are decals i made from guage images i photo reduced from the internet. I dont use the decals like decals, just punch them out and glue them on top of the discs. I will later clear them with future. Thanks for the kind words.


Gary Davis

Thanks for the info Mark. Man...they look like they are recessed into a bezel. Very cool my friend. that seat and shifter are also...OFF THE CHART!!!  ;D

Thanks , Gary. i finally found out where the fire extinguisher was on this car . They mounted it pretty close to where the passenger front seat would be mounted . Just a little back. Its one of those stand up kind thats usually behind the drivers seat.  I found one from an old mpc mercury kit I can use.

This is getting better every post. As always...great fab work Mark!!
