another little update, finally figured out what to use for the aquarium water, totally dry and has enough bubbles in it to be convincing, only problem is no fish, that is my next task in the future to figure out what will work for fish!!!

A little sneak peak of the paint color, this is the hood with a graphic that I cut out of a lowrider magazine that I glued to the hood and will smooth out with clear coat to act as a mural. It matches the rootbeer rather well..

Thanks guys for the comments. While the paint is drying between coats doing some detail work on smaller stuff, the engine is painted and that I colored gold. Give it some contrast, but here is the overflow tank that I made and radiator cap, just have to glue other end of hose to cap.

More updates, decided on a little pin striping here and there on the body, and working on the clay pots for the beds and trailer, some are done with some vegetation and rocks ill add some fruit to others, and the hood ornament.

just a little update, fitting engine in bay with hydro tubes, was not easy had to remove some of the drivers side resin face, I did not mock it up very good during primer stage, but little adjustments never hurt anybody....

Decided to paint the vine to look more realistic.

Did not like the way the paint came out on the bottom of the bed, decided to use toothpics to fill it in the frame which will cover most of bed when installed.
