"a home made conversion between a 60 roof and a 61 body? That's how I made mine after seeing Gregs conversion in the magazine" Can someone tell me which issue this was in? Thanks. mudshark

A few years ago I had a model that had won a fairly major contest (for Toronto area) on display at a full-size car show (outside). It was a scorcher, and the car was in one of those acrylic display cases. The clear cover of the case had a bellybutton-like mold mark on the top of it. When I got home, I realized that my car's top was sagged in the middle, and the lacquer paint was crazed in a number of areas!!! I thought that the "bellybutton" had acted as a magnifying glass to focus the sun's rays on the center of the roof, but I see now that it may have sagged without the help of the clear case. A good caution to put out there to others I guess. mudshark

I hope it's o.k. to ask this here, but I've received no response to queries on this subject from "other" websites. Any word on whether or not there's going to be a Custom Clinic photo contest this year? (if yes, details would be appreciated) Thanks. John B
