Ragtop Man

I've had really good luck with file card and water thin CA. First, cut and shape the card until it lays flat, and don't be afraid to try several until you get it laying flat and smooth Tack the card down with the usual mid-cure (don't glue your fingers to it)CA. When all is snug, use the water thin blue-top CA to saturate the card (as you would with matte glass) It will make the card very stiff and give the joint good backing that will not come loose easily. Dries quickly, and even sands pretty easily. However, to repeat some of the comments from earlier, you have to sort out how the joint can fail. Will it twist? Want to fold on iteself? Be in tension or compression? Each of those calls for a different solution. Good luck!

Not a build, exactly, but trying to sort a Red Alert "box-full-o'-junque" so the parts can go to their rightful homes. Searched the Drastic Plastics site, and incredibly, it didn't have this in the Chevrolet or Drag sections (!) even though this kit was in the catalog since dinosaurs walked the earth and all phones had rotary dials. Believe it or not, I walked past this kit and the Old Pro Nova about a jillion times at every dime store and hobby shop in the 70's, and never bought either one. If it helps, you can email it to me, or just put it here. Whatever. Many thanks in advance.
