What did you use for the beading on the fenders and how did you attach it?

Also... you never answered my question about Pro Tech.

Hi Harry..........no,I pay for the for the "Pro Tech" parts I use......I just like to use them and share with everybody what the parts can do to make your build look better.......as for the beading ,I used .020 (0.50) rod and I attached it with The Original Super Glue with the red cap.......thanks

How do you keep from glueing your fingers to the beading???

How do you keep from glueing your fingers to the beading???

Hi Curt......actually it`s pretty easy........I hold the rod in one hand.......I apply a tad of super glue with a toothpick  about 1/4 of an inch of underneat the rod......then attach it to the body with a clean toothpick.....I let it dry for a few secounds and inch may around the body with the same procedure.......thanks buddy

John this is looking Awesome ,the only other part that is not true to the real car is the front axle ,should it not be a straight axle

to lift the front end ? nice work .
