Are you "pinning" the exhaust and light mountings?

What's that? 

[Mike C.]

If you are referring to the Pins on the exhaust pieces, they are still there but the corresponding holes in the frame are long gone. I ether painted them over or I simply can't see them anymore.

Felt the engine, trans, and exhaust looked a bit new, so I hit it with a little blackwash..

[Mike C.]

I had some trouble with the passenger side front wheel falling off and broke that troublesome rollbar light off. Managed to glue it back on (and keep what little of my sanity I have left). A few more loose ends and this thing will be under glass.  Oh boy!

[Mike C.]

I lost one of those mounts for the side mirrors so I had to scratch build one from a piece of the sprue and drill it with a tiny drill bit. Later, I'll have to hit it with some Molotow paint.

Amen to that, Brother Mike!

I have over 30 started. But, I am actually working on them again, for the first time in a few years, so I'll be completing some this year.

My last count was over 20, so I have a little hope. ?
