Bengels 30 coupe build thread...

[M.T.]

I cant blow the model apart until I get a vw off the rack and back to the owner which might be a few weeks so until them I'm tinkering on little things that will eventually need to get done. I also re installed the rumble deck lid It was just sitting in the car and not adjusted up. Tonight I milled a key way into the steering shaft so the 39 ford steering wheel can actually be attached to a modern tilt Chevy column. I also turned a new steering wheel center tonight on the lathe out of a piece of plastic and it looks like it will work just fine as well. Kinda of looks old and era correct. Then I got to thinking about a paint scheme and was looking at where to separate the colors. Think I might do something different and do the top and fenders along with the splash aprons hot rod flats black with the center that is now rutty red primer in a super bright tangerine orange flake with pearl. Never seen t before so why not... Did some rattle can primer tonight to see if I think I will like the separation points.
