The front parking light is almost completed, will be cast in clear resin. I'll have one of each done and see which one details up the best. The taillight unit will either be cast in clear or clear red resin. Yes the interior will be started on soon. I've fixed the gap above the right side of the tail light. Thanks all! Upon seeing the enlarged photos on my screen I see a lot crusty corners that need cleaning up, especially around the windows. It is a great ride too, but not quite as smooth as the T-Bird. Blue with stainless steel and vinyl top and white leather interior. My "toy" nowadays is a 1985 Caddy Eldorado Biarritz with just over 43,000 miles.
