I bought some 1/2" diameter, 1/2 round mild steel lengths today to use as faux beads on the sills like the original cars. I also bought a couple of cover plates from Aero Tech Laboratories to use as faux access panels. So far, I've only cut the steel and placed them on teh chassis for viewing. I will epoxy them once I round the ends. The chassis will be painted satin black
The access panel will be polished and then clear powder coated. Black oxide screws cut short will be epoxied in the panel.
