I decided to run the flame theme to the interior. It is not done, i still have a couple of tricks up my sleeve to make the interior pop a little more. Here is the start to where it is at now. I figured my time, and i have 2 days total into this flock job I used Jimmy Flintstones flame stencils to make these flames.   After the white and light gray surrond is on:    After the final color of charcoal over black paint is on:    I hope you like it so far. Thank you, Virgil |

Thank you plastictrucker and Olskool for the great compliments!! Here are a few updates for you to look at. Please leave feedback, even if it is bad!!! These are the headers i am using, and i decided to go without dash gauges so i used bass and walnut woods for the inserts. The dash still gets a 3 gauge set, and some flocking added before it is called done.  The shifter is in, and the flocking is done to the interior bucket.    Let me know what you think, even if it is a bad review!! Thank you, Virgil |

Sorry for the very small update. I have been at the bench, the progress i am making is between this one and the 67 impy. I have got most of the bigger stuff done, now it is the little stuff that is in progress....lol I have the body polished and the windows in, but i will save the pics for when the body is all together, and ready to put on the frame. I have the steering column and steering wheel to finish, and the interior bucket will be ready to put in the body permanently. Nuff said, here is the dash.... I painted and installed the photo-etched stereo, equalizer, and 3 gauge set, and of course...done a color matching flock job.  The brake/clutch pedals are from an old Revell 55-57 chevy, the gas pedal is from the 51 chevy Bel-Air. The shifter is from a 56 chevy. I am using a steering column from the Paddy Wagon, and the steering wheel is from the 67 impy i am also working on...lol.  Thank you, Virgil |

This is the last time you will see the interior outside of the body. It is now a permanent part of the body. I have some things to finish on the motor, and it will go in the frame for good. I got the grille blacked out. It will take about 1 1/2 to 2 days to completely finish this beast. ;D ;D ;D I Alcladed the center of the steering wheel, and painted the rim Tamiya Metallic Gray.    The motor is looking like a freak of nature, but almost done...LOL.    The next time you see this, it will be in the "finished" section.....WHOO HOO!!!! Virgil |
