All
through the interior project on the orange car I used my
plastic
restoration skills learned after 47 years of building models to
repair
the interior plastic. I am an old cripple now who's hands shake at
times
and have developed arthritis in my fingers too. On restoring the
column
shift indicator I accidentally polished off part of some of the
trans
indicator letters and no#'s. I haven't done this in a long time but
gave
it a try anyway, I got out some white One Shot pin striping paint and
a
small model paint brush and using the faint outline left of the
letters
and no#'s hand painted them white like factory. They turned out
almost
perfect. I used to pin stripe and letter 1:1 cars and trucks and
my
models years ago. I even surprised myself as it has been 6-7 years
since
I last did somthing like this.

Doc In my gremlin i used these sticker plastic letters and model paint to
add ELEC. FAN and LIGHTS with silver paint where it said lights and wiper
from the factory and used chrome skulls for knobs.
