I got my own hell child. I know the kit sucks anyway (Lindberg 48 Lincoln) but I just felt like commiting suicide I guess. Despite the 93 piece body (LOL) I really had no assy problems at all. I am building as many Indy Pace cars as I can otherwise i would never have built this kit. Every thing was going well till my new clear (Upol) I think I put on to heavy, 2 other models were OK. The passenger door bubbled up and the front fenders did the same. I had previous problems with the fenders and had been already painted twice. I was lucky with door I saved it and was lucky the Fred Cady decals had 2 sets of Logos, Whew. The fenders not so lucky I threw them back into the pond for about a month. I just took out about a week ago, cleaned them up a little and threw the whole kit back in the box to be finished at a later date. Been about 3 months since I first started it and may be 3 years till I go back.

He is a great guy just very busy. He will get back to you when he has a chance. His decals are worth the wait the are fantastic.

Thanks for help so far guys. Yes Jon I was going to try to make them if I couldn't find something. I need 2 (1 for my 1950 Merc Indy pace car) and 1 for a conv custom. I am pretty good cutting up bodies but I don't know about making a boot. LOL  What do you mean by delaminate the tissue. Peel apart like toilet paper ? (split in half). I think your saying, thin coat of glue, lay tissue over top of it,work it down flat, let it absorb the glue, then let it dry, then paint.Does that sound right. What glue, besides epoxy I also have a thinner wood glue - and elmers would probably not stick well enough however.

I looked in my Modelhaus catalog - they don't have one either. They do have a 50 Merc dash. Tried my Indy pace 1955 Chevy and 1964 Mustang  - no go. I could modify anything (I think) but I want to start with something close. The Merc is to wide for all that I tried.
