1/16 m8 greyhound fun begins ...

made parking brake side lever system
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.
 
Nice,..how did you get that crackle finish on the seat pads..?
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.

Still working here... Finished up the interior siring also the headlight wiring, just need some fine tuning and paint. Finished up brake lines on underside but did not like it so will remove the thin wire from the rear axles and will do in the yellow wire like I did front

Wow, that looks GREAT!

Is 1/16th about the same as "120mm", it looks larger.

Also, a chuckle at the frying pan, that is one optimistic crew!
