Thank you. I think the pencil looks a lot better than the one's I've used panel liner on. To be honest with you, I tried to run a piece of fiber optics up to the ashtray, but it kept kinking and I gave up. LOL Maybe next time.

Absolutely fantastic! The dome light blows me away.

I have the best shop crew in Mahoning county. LOL. They have never one time complained about anything. Those dang hood hinges ticked me off so bad. I had trouble getting them to land right in the first place, I kind of knew thay were going to mess with me. I even use the right glue and let it sit overnight. I got lucky when one of the mirrors flipped out of the tweezers and stuck to my shirt instead of flying across the room. I looked to see if I had anything that would work. Maybe shoot Revell a line. They are amazing about sending things out. I had a windshild that was short molded and they sent me one that came in four days. That's why I tend to go with Revell just because of that.
