Things were going along nicely. I had installed the windshield. then I looked at a picture of an actual car. Lo and behold the frame is painted not chromed. So into the pond it went.
I should have done that too. The front end is a battle and I ended up with my trademark smudges and smears. But if I take my photos from 20 ft. we should be ok.
I think you have more faith in me than I do. we'll see. I'm not sure but it looks sort of out of proportion to me. Of course that wasn't m y fault, only the bad paint and the smudges are.
I know how that feels. I've been through it twice here. I was about to suggest cleaning and reboxing but several members did it. No sense in losing more than you have to.
The gentleman who had commissioned a Porsche 962 to be done for display heard through the grapevine that FTB had done the Allison turbine from the GMC Astro. So he brought his Pratt & Whitney ST-6 which had been used in a Lotus Indy racer.
