UPC bar code? Please explain! It isn't clicking today. That engine looks marvelous!

Looking great!

Thanks Gary. Been a bit since I've been on here so I'll need to catch up to the point that I'm at now on it.Gary Brantley wrote: ↑Sun Jul 16, 2023 8:40 am That engine looks bad-*ssed! Ingenious use of that barcode!
Progress on the interior. My OTHER favorite part of auto building. If there's one thing I cannot STAND it's molded in foot pedals. They just look so dang fake!! The fix......is to remove the toe board on the drivers side.
I cut a thin piece of clear Evergreen plastic this morning and glued it into place. After that I cut the same shape from some sandpaper so the floor carpeting wouldn't be lost and adhered that on top of the clear panel. I'll be hitting the sandpaper with some gloss to give everything a uniform base to start with and then we'll be going with the color. I'll be going with a black interior but it won't be boring.
Something else that caught my attention was the molded in park brake handle. This........will change.
And lastly....there'll be a few items from this sheet ending up in the interior. Thank God for The MCG.....
