Mighty nice job, especially given the restrictions of your working space!

Thanks! Yes tight space indeed. It takes a 1/2 hr just to move bicycles and surfboards before I can do any work!

The seats are Charcoal Grey from CruiserCorps. I couldn't decide grey or black, so I ordered both. The grey is close to OEM for 3/72, but wasn't sure I would like the color against the Dune Beige 416. When they came I decided I liked it best, so returned the black.

I still have a little work to do on the lower front corner as you can see in the picture.

The foam is the molded set from Spector, and the paint is the Silver Pewter from CCOT.

Thanks for the complement!

Thank-you PistonPete. It certainly has been a learning process. And several re-do's when not happy with the first pass.

Yeh, it's sort of an obsession... Not always good, but hey, it's just money and time right.

Have to install the draw cord in the passenger bench bottom this evening, draw it tight, then reinstall the screws.

Waiting for a friend to help me not scratch anything with the seat installation.



...Yes thats the cat litter box in the corner. My work conditions suck.

Finished the steering wheel last night....




That plastic piece on the turn signal indicator is from a 56 Chevy... No time to replace the arm that broke off. The only part not Toyota, don't tell.
