    Wheels installed, flocking added for carpet and rear tray, inserts are something I found at a craft store "paper tape", and also making a different front valance.

              Not done with it yet, but wanted to see the body on the chassis.

                  Jason what do you use to "chrome" the bumpers, just a chrome enamel spray?

                    It's called Bare Metal Foil. It's a very very thin sheet of foil with an adhesive back.

                    Bare-Metal® Foil is perfect for duplicating chrome on model cars, model trucks, and model aircraft. Bare-Metal® also looks great on die cast models. You can use Bare-Metal® any place that real metal would add detail to a finished kit. Bare-Metal® Foil is a thin metal foil with a self-adhesive backing. Bare-Metal® can be applied to painted surfaces or plain plastic. Plus since Bare-Metal® Foil is so thin it conforms to compound curves.

                      Just picked up this BMW Z1 model from Revell. Has a detailed m20 engine in it.



                      Also bought the M1 Procar from Revell.



                      Both seem to be really detailed kits.

                                I went with a lacquer clear on the e30 and floor polish on the VW, trying something different. Think I'm going to go back to using clear from Krylon, I used it on the Merc and Firebird in previous post and they turned out great.
