Great looking so far. I love the weathering on the interior

Ty bro appreciate it! I managed to find the full brake line diagram for it as well so will be scratchbuilding full brakes on the underside.

Scratch built and made parking brake side lever system.. duel clutchs. Also added some more brake lines and wiring.

Are those bicycle pedals in that last photo, for when the engine fails?

Nice,..how did you get that crackle finish on the seat pads..?

Way cool! And well done. When restoring a model vehicle with parts and systems to what you think it should have, it just feels right. And at that scale, you must have so many options!
Looks like you're having a blast! Nice.

Lmao... You got it! The sides pop off too so you can go Fred Flintstone on it ..

I am debating if I'm going to fill that in ( the crackle parts with sand or leave as is. As far as how I get it .. I use black permanent marker and color in seat then while it is still wet or on wet side I spray heavy or good amount with clear coat... It will krinkle up.

I actually researched that .. those are the right parts. I still have some wiring to do as well. There you can see the pedals the hand brake etc.
