    Great looking idea there Olskool. She'll love it, I'm sure. That's what I like about the guys here (and on other sites in this hobby. They're always willing to help each other out. Keep it up, Guys. Oh, and Thanks Dave!!!!

    If that body isn't salvageable, I might have an extra one laying about.

    REALLY cool,Dave!!! I just saw this and am just about to crash for the night,will be out all day the next two...sometime this weekend,I'll see what I can do with it (hot water and a tender touch,LOL) and let you know. I'll let you know,and either way,thanks! :)

    I'm sure that you will do this one some justice and your daughter will LOVE it... Can't wait to see some progress on it...

    I finally got it out yesterday and primed the body,and was looking at it late lastnight (was planning to mask it for spray)...the body's severely warped...I dunno if I'll be able to sraighten it enough to build :angry:
