Hey Tom - re: 68 hemi - How hard was it to cut the rear wheels wells out? - I know there are guide lines inside the body but I'm a bit unsure of cutting up the body - Do you think is there a way to build the kit in race form without cutting up the wheel wells? - Also, that blue is outstanding - Testors? - Thanks - Joe

I scribed through the wheel wells with the back side of an Xacto, didn't take long at all, and looks just fine. Once cut out I cleaned up with 600 grit.

How in the He!!, you do you get that shine like that? I am assuming that you are using spray cans??? I could be wrong though. Anyway Great Builds thus far! Like to see more .
