Rusty -
That is a good point - I hadn't really thought about that... Guess I need to get cracking on both fronts! :)

That single exhaust was really bugging me too. :)

I spotted that, too. I think it was the only thing I did today besides paint that I didn't screw up. Looking at it in a post-beverage way, I think I will try to smear putty by hand into the many foulups on the front dam and other places tomorrow. Maybe I can fix it by "feel" then take pictures, bring them in to the computer to examine them, and go back out to correct.

Time for another beverage... long day. I'm working on this car because the heat and humidity yesterday and today are so intolerable I am stuck inside to be able to breathe at all. From Wed afternoon on, I'm back at work on another project outside on a 1:1 car- but its German, flat, and air-cooled!

None of my business here, but there is a nice grill mesh alternative.



These are cheap and found anywhere. Just a thought in case anyone needs some. You can paint it of course.

Quick question gents. What is the size of the Allen wrench needed for the CB wheel set screws? I just don't have one that small in all of my RC gear

[studioRS]

I have a a Hudy hex driver set, really kewl trick setup, but not that small little .035". SCC lists the replacement tip, I bet it will fit in one of my Hudy handles. Thanks again guys!

Thompson there is usually one taped to the bottom of a Slot.it case if you have any of them.

I 'had' a new Porsche 911GT1 EVO Slot.it but sold it to buy the RSR build! Wahoo, it was my new Porsche sell-off to go retro for the Porsche RSR—in Porsche terms, a back date! Hmmm, I do have a Slot.it Porsche 962C pink Blaupunkt, but not the original case. No biggie, I ordered a replacement .035" allen tip from SCC.

Oh no!!!!! Ruhro. Awe, I'm feeling for you on this. Don't get down, keep after it. Same thing is happening to me—seems like everytime I touch it!

I just want to add, that if anyone gets to the decal stage and something goes phooey, just let me know, I'll be happy to print some decals on my ink jet FOC. I just won't be able to print out any white ones.

Cheers, Thompson

Speaking of decals. We are using our HRW user name on the are we not. I was thinking of using the Donohue decal as a test for the clear coat. And I lost the instruction sheet. :angry-banghead: Probably here somewhere just haven't looked to hard yet. :)
