Thank you very much for the helpful comments.

The windshield in question is very thin and glued in place. And it has 2 CA glue finger prints on the out side. Can I sand them out, then polish and finish with Future? What oh what shall I do? (Maybe throw it against the wall?) Thanks

I use an old drill bit, and try not to knock the bottle over.

Thanks for the info, people.

I have a chrome-bumper with a strip that should be black-rubber. Would Molotow black be reasonably durable, or not much? Thanks

And we're mostly talking here about metal items.

In one of the model-car magazines they had a pretty complete article on making wire wheels. I think the article included 2 or 3 different methods. I think this article was published within the last year. If there is any interest I will search for the article.

I remember my Dad (and I) going to the Ford dealer to pick out his company car. I think I was about 14 y.o. They had one of these 7 Litre Galaxies on the show-room floor. I went 'to work' on my Dad to get him to choose this beautiful red beast! Didn't work though, but this car has always been one of my very favorite big Fords. It is styled to look not massive or large. Rather, long and lean!

I appreciate the help. Thanks

I've never used these before. I guess you would wipe the tire side-wall down with a solvent. Then center the sticker. Then spray it with clear acrylic? Then dull coat it. How does that sound? Comments, anyone, please? Thanks.

Thanks alot everyone. What I ended up doing: I bought regular spark plug wire, 0.012", and their racing spark plug wire, which was 0.016". And I bought it from Detail Master.

Thanks again.

Thanks all of you guys. One more question? How about the diam. of racing spark plug wire on engines like Top Fuel? Thanks

Does beading wire come in different colors or can it be painted? I'll check it out at Hobby Lobby. Thanks much.

Looking for just regular diam. spark plug wire, but also larger diam. Thanks.

Thanks everybody. Now I can get organized!

Where do you get those real small zip-lock bags, maybe 3 or 5 inches wide? I would like to use them to seperate small parts, like fuel pumps, windshield wiper motors, ignition parts, etc. Thanks

I have a little kit, by Aoshima, of several small wings, "GT Wings", I think, but they are quite small but finely engraved. They are more than a little finicky.

Hi Matt. I have, on my hard drive, a photo of Jim Hall's (Chaparral) Trans Am '71 Camaro. It does not have the split bumper. I also have a photo of a 1/25 model of the same thing. If you send me you email address, I will send you both photos.

I found the Tamiya masking tape, 4 cm wide: "Cornwall Model Boats" in the UK.

Thanks Ace. Presently, I am 'gun shy' of laquers, although I have never used Duplicolor. I bought some paint from the local NAPA 'paint mixer guy' to match some Mopar paint. He got the color wrong but I used it anyway. He said all the manufacturers use (some type of) enamel. Anyway, was that paint delightful to use thru my AB!!

There is a company in the UK, "Cornwall Model Boats", that makes styrene rod that is easily bendable and stays set. I've ordered some from them but have not tried it yet. I read about this on this online forum. I can say that it is not expensive at all, even considering shipping.

Thanks you guys for all these essential diagrams!!

I too have given up on laquers because of the (inevitable?) orange peel. Acrylics thinned with acetone works very well for me. I have a Paasche H and use the medium tip. Viscosity is almost everything to me.
