The resin body has been cleaned up and the parts which were cast in one piece have been cut off (door handles, tail lights, front radiator and headlights,...)

I also made the rear fender wider and lower, and I drilled out a hole for the fuel cap.

The simple interior received a safety roll cage and a hand brake. The rear seat was there in the real car as well!

Then I sprayed the body yellow and I did a dry fit of the interior. Later on the car will be partially sprayed BP green.

Once the yellow paint dried, I masked the car with BMF and Maskol.

Next I sprayed the green areas.

As soon as the green paint was dry, I removed the masks and I polished the model to get rid of the glue marks.

Next I fixed the decals in place. Most of them were designed on my computer and printed by a friend of mine.
![Album image #9 Album image #9](/albums/img/4/1/3/115413-10911-27-720.jpg)
Once the decals were in place, I clearcoated the whole body.
![Album image #10 Album image #10](/albums/img/1/1/7/116117-10911-43-720.jpg)
After a week the clearcoat is dry. Next I finish the simple interior and I fix it to the body, together with the wheels.

I paint the window frames flat black.
![Album image #12 Album image #12](/albums/img/1/1/9/116119-10911-31-720.jpg)
I added some radiator-like decals to the rear of the Ford.

Now the time has come to add the finishing touch details.
