JB, Haven't noticed that photo before! Very nice, in front of a BMW 3.0 CSL to boot—which is very much on my approval list :clap:

I'm planning to build the oil kühler tonight with a piece of 1/16 balsa and glue the paper printout on it. Tuck it in and glue 'er down. The coffee filter screen will go over. I'll attack the decals too at some point soon, got to get them down. I wonder if these will hold up with Krylon crystal clear over them?

Okay, guys, I'm facing the decals now. Where do the RSR's, extra HRW's, and extra SCC decals go?

I guess I should be more specific. The PORSCHE decal that goes between the taillights doesn't fit, so I'm wondering if in addition to the builder's choice about the extra decals for our sponsors, we have a consensus about swapping that one to the rear bumper right below that spot.

Rob, It looks like the small Porsche goes on front bumper and large one on the rear.

I see what you mean now. The Goodyear may have to go between the tail lights and Porsche on the bumper. Instead of how the pic is.

[waaytoomuchintothis]

That's the way I was leaning. I swear, I looked at them when they arrived and I was sure there was one that fit between there. Imagine my shock when I was about to put that one on, and it was the same size as the one on the front! I'll do the bumper swap and move on to the extra sponsor decals tomorrow.

By the way, guys... Pay attention to that warning slip of paper in the decal bag. It takes some getting used to, but if you screw up and there's no adhesion, I found that the clear glue I use for window glass is an excellent fix. I think Testor's makes it. Its in a funny looking bottle. I used the same stuff for the two hood pins up front and the one in the center of the rear deck.
