Looks like it will be a pretty cool rebuild. I have that Gray modeled version you spoke of. A friend had started the build 30 some years ago along with the 37 chevy Gasser. That friend passed away from the evil cancer about 28 years ago. I still have both of the kits just as he had left them at the time we were building together. I keep saying I need to get them out and finish them. I know the paint colors he was going to do them in and all. So I will follow a long on your build maybe it will get me to dig them out and finish them. And I dont think I have ever seen your decal/water problem before....Its almost as they started to bleed,,,,like blood! It is getting close to Halloween and all!
