In Response To: I'm building a 1967 Cyclone and I found many, many pics of a fully restored one. The floor pans are painted or undercoated in semi gloss black. It's pretty plain. Is there a way I can "liven it up" with a wash or some other way of detailing? ....... *PIC*..... ()

color overspray on each side of the floor pan from were the body sills are sprayed. You could add the flanges on the exhaust pipes since they usually aren't molded. Grab a book on Mustang restoration. Its basically the same and those guys go nuts on getting everything exact done to the paint code strips on the various parts. Oh and if its a 9 inch rear end the carrier will be red oxide.

- Not exactly sure what you want but if you want to dirty it just a tiny bit (for some contrast) Tamiya makes dry powder weathering kits...... *PIC*
  - I saw a couple of tutorials on the Tamiya Weatherine, and it was used on desert S.A.S. and LRDG vehicles in Nortfh Africa in WWII, and a little bit goes a long ways. My 2 cents ?, For model cars, find another source. *NM*

- Looks like undercoating to me. They did not come off the assembly line like that. Far as I know Ford unibodies were oxide red underneath, with semi-black bolt-on pieces and underhood areas. Undercoating was (usually) only in the wheelwells. There could be some body-color *PIC*
- You could do a little dry-brushing with a slightly lighter shade of dark gray. Or... (PIC) and *LINK*
  - Here's a link for making your own dry pigments. *NM* *LINK*
- This is a rattle can resto - not a 90+ point judged car
