The main reason to store leaking cans upside down as soon as you notice them, is so that only propellant leaks out and you are not losing the “glop” or carrier. It could be stored for years like that with no affect on the paint itself. When you finally do decide to decant it, any remaining pressure would need to be bled off by what ever method you choose.

Box art can inspire you to buy a model that may actually be horrendous.?

Well, in order to lower this thing, since it already has a dropped front axle, I was all set to build some new springs.Then I realized that I have a whole bunch of leaf springs that I will never use. So after some rooting around, I found a set that just needed a bit of reworking. Now for the rear which hopefully will be a little easier.?

Player you get, the smoker you drink was a Joe Walsh album, wait a minute….I think I may have dyslexia.?

Said the spider to the fly….welcome to my parlour.

Anymore rule breakers should simply be skipped over and ignored.?

Game is now back on track!?

Broken yolks are the only way my wife can manage to cook eggs.

Like I said, I haven’t had my morning coffee, and yes, lets not quibble.

Spoken is a word that I can’t start a sentence with right now because I haven’t had my coffee yet, and I tried to start a sentence using a word from the previous page that ended in “locked”.?

Appetite for destruction was Guns N Roses’ debut album.

The only thing I can suggest is use a good quality, sharp scriber with a very light touch on all passes. Clamp a straight edge guide on for straight sections until you have a deep enough trench to freehand it.

Leader is what goes between your fishing line and your spoon.

I didn’t realize until you posted this that the cabs of the ‘57 Step Side and the ‘55 Cameo are identical. I happen to have a couple of the Cameo kits.? The windows are slightly bigger in the Cameo kit. There is still a little gap like you said, but I can make it work. Thanks!?

Sources of information are right at your fingertips now with the internet, however it is up to the user to verify the accuracy and not blindly accept what might just be gibberish.

Today the temperature finally got above freezing to +1 degree Celsius.

Thanks everyone. I am aware of the lip at the top of the windshield. The glass is definitely too small for the opening I believe. I will try glueing in a lip for a windshield (either the kits’ or a homemade one) to sit against. This kit has the same problem to a lesser degree with the rear window too.?

You’re right I believe. There, I fixed it.?

I’ll bet that was an experience you won’t forget.? I didn’t realize they were so complicated yet simple.

Sorry for your loss. I sure miss my dog(s).?

Thanks Randy. Just weighing my options at this point. The gasket molded onto the glass is not very uniform, hence my inquiry.

Similar to this but with the spring extended through to the lower arm.

If I wanted to glue 1/2 round evergreen all around the perimeter of a windshield to simulate a gasket….what would be the best glue to use? CA or Tamiya thin would both likely fog the clear. Maybe it could be polished out afterwards? Any other ideas? The fit of this kits glass is horrible!?

Modifications are a huge part of this hobby, and although not a requirement, they do serve to make a build unique and truly your own.
