Onto the interior.

I am going to use seats from an AMT 1988 Mustang kit that I just recently acquired since it has two sets in the box. I'll also be using the center console out of it as well.
First off the seats sat too low for me.

So I managed to snake a small Lego to use as a platform:

Seat is right where I want it in regards to height after sanding the towers of the Lego down a bit:

Image

So with that.....let's add some carpet to the equation:

Movin' on with the interior. I black based both of the seats and the console and will be painting the seats what will end up being a dark red color and the console will be gloss black.

Image

The shifter in the console was for an automatic so I sanded the PRNDL and the raised portion down from that area and will be installing a shifter boot from another kit and will be using a bobby pin as a shifter lever/ stick that has a black head/ ball on it. I formed it back towards the drivers seat in an "S" curve. I just didn't like the straight stick. After smoothing out the ball I've already got the white dot on it and have a small syringe standing by so I can put the "8" in the center of it. I couldn't NOT put an "8 ball" atop the stick you know. :wink:

Well what can I say about that Engine? It looks real!

Great work on the interior thus far - the 8 ball is a cool addition. How do you do your carpets?

Cheers

Okay.....now you are showing off! Amazing stuff. Next, will the keys work in the ignition? You are a genius at this stuff.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
