Very nice work. Did you make the seat covers and curtains yourself?

Thanks Marcel! Indeed the seat cover were homemade. Actually ended up being less trouble than I thought.

Very cool, was the "century" on the boot done with metal stickers?

Very nice detailed work. How did you do the lettering on the boot?

Wow, beautiful work! But you have to elaborate further on the seat covers, they look incredible. What do you mean "less trouble than I thought"? 😄

Lovely work. The seat covers are the cherry on the cake.

Thank guys!

The lettering is actually white plastic showing through the paint after some very delicate sanding. As for the seat covers, I was initially worried that the lace would turn into an unruly gluey disaster, but the material was fairly forgiving and predictable to work with.

I too would appreciate a word or two more on the technique applied.

Thanks all!

Nigel, as the owner of a G50, I couldn't stand for such sacrilege! A Crown? Sure. A President? Go for it. A Century? No way.

Ok you got me 😆
Is this replica of your car ?

Mine's one generation newer... no kit on the market for that body style. If someone came out with a nice 3D model, I'd build it.

Beautiful! And like everyone else I'm really impressed by the knitted seat cloths or covers. And the imitation of wood *inside* of the dashboard. Would need new steady and very small fingers to copy that

Thanks!

No steady hands needed for the wood burl - just a ratty paintbrush, a decent airbrush, and some masking tape you can trust.
