    Let's talk about your experiance with "Multi Piece Body Kits".

    I had the typical nightmare builds from when I was a kid -- the Revell VW Bus, which I believe was the first model I actually threw at the wall as hard as I could, and the '57 Ranchero, which I tried and tried so many times that eventually I just made the mating surfaces so goobered there was no way any two parts were going together without major corrective surgery.

    Now, I'd love to try either again. Between CA/kicker, Ambroid/Tenax, and just a whole lot more patience and skill, I think I'd be very pleased with them as kits. The Futura and Club De Mur are both on my want list, as well.

    The great one died 19 yrs ago today.

    He knows that, Harry...he thinks he's being clever, or ironic. *cough*

    Before CImmaronPat gets this one closed, too...

    I also have not been able to get enthused about F1 racing since Senna died. I sat there at home like so many others, completely stunned, while they worked to get him out of his race car. Senna is an amazing documentary and if you've never watched it, you're truly missing something special. I hope to god that they never follow through on the threats of making a Senna movie...there's no way to capture his story as well as the real deal.

    And yes, turn it up loud. Really loud.

    Clear coating race car models. Should they be that shiny?!

    Nope, Pat...haven't forgotten a thing. So what's all the exclamation points? Is that one for each time you thump your chest? I can't tell what you're doing there, exactly...but it seems kinda monkey-like and of course makes it that much more funny. :P

    Seriously, though...this has become a "last word" thing, I think. You go ahead and take the last word, Pat. I have a feeling you may burst something if this keeps going. :rolleyes:

    One of these days I'm going to buy a case of those Pontiac customs, just for the acre of diamond tuck. I did a Malibu wagon interior but it ate up both the kits I had...I shoulda thought smaller, like you! :lol:

    Cool 'lil hot rod.

    Actually, it has moved farther down than that, then I would see that it'd been brought back up to the top again with a musical reference. If my brain has gone so soft as to confuse that as a bump when it's actually a reply, then you have my full apologies. :rolleyes:

    But hey, if you want to keep adding to the entertainment value of the thread, whether it be ironic or otherwise, please...do feel free. :lol:

    'Preciate it.

    I had to strip the first run at the color due to dirt I missed in the paint cup. Re-cleaned everything but that, so wouldn't ya know it. That in itself was no big deal...an hour or so with the high test alky on a cloth and it was ready to go...but I apparently missed one little sliver while masking the body off, and some alky wicked down through the mask onto the trunk.
