Amphicar detail...

I've been trying to make this car look decent. It was pulled out of a garage and painted years ago now the son-in-law wants it to be completed for him. They did a decent paint job but failed to do so much as pull a plug wire or brake drum. More on the suspension clean up later.
I am now detailing it for him so the inside can look presentable. It was kinda like having a new suit on, but last weeks underwear on! They guy who painted it made a big mistake by squirting black in the engine bay. It should be blue as well. Now it's like working in a cave.

Re: Amphicar detail...

Some more shots of the work. Waiting for shoes to come back and some other parts. Keep in mind this is NOT a restoration. I'm just repairing what it needs to be a reliable driver.
