Clay.
I have read your "allowables", ie plug wires and lowering. But I must ask, can we flock the carpet as long as it is done in the color in the instructions?
Also, will you be wanting to know what kit we plan to build?
Thanks

[Clay]

Yes and yes please.

I will be doing the Revell S/E '49 Merc. I wanted to do the Dark Red one; but I don't like decals. They make a model look cheesey imo. So I will be doing the Metalic Blue one instead.
Thanks and have a great day.

Count me in. I'm building the Revell Street Burner 66 Impala SS396 wearing light yellow w/black interior. I'm not really a fan of yellow, but I think I will like it.

Clay.
After a little research and just recieving a couple of gasser kits in the mail, I have decided to change my build to the AMT 1957 Chev Corvette Gasser. This gasser kit gives some options and I figure why the heck waist a beautiful car like the Merc on box art. That's not a bad thing. It's just that I had big plans for the Merc.
Have a great eve

[Clay]

well, i made it halfway through the first drawing before i had to deviate from the instructions

the instructions tell me to paint the entire engine blue with the exception of the valley cover, that is alluminum
well, i checked the box and sure enough the engine in the car on the box has a BLUE valley cover
