Yes plain old red oxide primer Dave. If you have any Testors Grabber blue or French blue... You can dust a bit of it on the floor pan and it will be a good match for the Grabber blue on the body, just wait till you have the chassis to do it. Oh and I did Paint the headliner (Well, inside of the roof) with some Tamiya racing white...Its a good match for Wimbeldon white

Ok gang, Ive been do a little working here and there when I can. I cleaned up every thing, shot some flat white primer, gave everything a couple of coats of wimbleton white , I painted and floked the carpet areas and Im moving on to some detail painting. Ill post pictures of all this soon.
Heres my problem, I dont know Fords so well so help me out. My reference pictures show a black two spoke steering wheel but the kit provided wheel is three spoke. which is right, will it work , do I need to find a two spoke ?

If you want to be accurate...Find a 2 spoke. That 3 spoke wheel went with the deluxe interior. Boss 302 cars got the plain jane interior.
PS: Don't think most will notice Dave, oh and thank you for the gift card, it is much appreciated!

Looks amazing Dave!!...Yes all domestic passenger cars had front and rear seat belts by 1969.(Only left and right passenger in the rear, no center belt for a 3rd passenger like most cars) Make sure you use the "T" handled Hurst shifter though. All boss 302s' got em...

I've gotta say that you have done a great job on that interior so far bro. I'll be getting that engine sent out pretty quick Dave.
