It is late on a weekend, not to be critical,and I don't know what exactly I am looking at. I see  pinstripes gradually getting better and a box of tools? I spent 6 hours during the latest snow storm laying out tape for the pinstripes on a 71 Boss 351 mustang-on one side! It would really help me out if you ncould have someone else photograph you using the tools in the box? Thanks, Ray

I don't know how to post pictures yet. I am a real newbie to scratchbuilding, and I had a half-dozen ideas for these things before I left the store. Just look at a can of Rustoleum metallics on your next store visit. Thanks.

Just bought a can of metallic rustoleum, and it had a safety clip on the trigger-I assume to keep from being sprayed in the store. After removing the safety clip, it is plastic and looks remarkably like the hinge bases on the older kits. Drill a hole thru from side to side and done. All that is needed is the wire hinge itself. Hope this helps someone, I already have plans for some of these things. Ray

Okay, easy. It was Saturday night and I was using what I had on hand. Highly unlikely my first taping effort would be a success anyway. But I will be picking up some of the Tamiya tape. Thanks for the advice. Actually worked out okay-changed the base color from a med metallic blue to a Rustoleum aged copper with black stripes, so we will see. Ray

Cool. I figured I was not the first guy to find this stuff, but I would hate for anybody to miss out for the simple lack of a post.
