Rob, Does the water need to be pretty hot? Hotter the better.

I didn't have any places that required a big dip into a crevice, so I was just above lukewarm and it did fine. But my body doesn't have a lot of sharp lines on it. Others, especially if they enhanced the edge lines of doors by scribing the resin, may be well advised to use hot. There were only a couple of the decals that had no stickem at all, and they were no trouble to glue. Being wet already, they smoothed out the glue instantly.

Thompson that thing looks simply brutal!!!

I don't understand why you posted all those shots of the front that already fits fine?

So you Dremeled the rear of your body to fit the decal? I suppose I may be able to go back and do that and touch up the paint again, but it would have been good to know that back when you first found the problem. A lot has been done since then. So you ground off the taillight and then carved the lights back in place further over?

[SRQSloter]

I thought that the raised square part was to be the taillights. :doh: Guess the goodyear will be between there now.

My little squares will be painted red and decals reversed unless you want to hook me up with a couple decals to fit between them Thompson. :)

Sounds good Thompson. Get that to ya in a bit. I'll give ya length and width in mms. :)

I carved up the back end today, and it came out fine. I'll finish up the decals tomorrow and get the Future on this thing. I glued down three more lifting decals today, too. I think I'll airbrush the Future on to make sure I don't mess up decals with my usual brush.

[waaytoomuchintothis]

Damn. I forgot all about that. I'll try it on a test piece with my trusty eyepatch. ARG!
