Got both bumpers painted, turn signals installed

Pedals are in, needs a light touch up to match the weathering

Tinting the headlights and fog lamps with Future and food coloring

Food coloring? Do tell! I have been looking for a better method to do tail lamps and what not. How does that work?

I'd say he tinted Future polish with food colouring and used it in lieu of pre-made transparent coloured paint.

Since the pearl white wasn't working for the back of the racing seats Im going to try some Fujimi wood panel decal with Tamiya dark yellow for the fabric color

seats are done, going to give them some weathering to match the rest of the interior

That looks great.

What are you using for spark plug wires/parts?

Im using leftover/scrap from a Morgan Automotive Design resin pre-wired distributor, for the boots I cut them at 45 and glued for a 90 boot.

Since "Toyoda" literally means "fertile rice paddies", changing the name also prevented the company being associated with old-fashioned farming.toyota of orange
