PF, the frontend will be re-installed and dropped like the rear. if i can sneak it in, it'll be in primer and a few other things done or nearly done. i've got the spinners for it but they need to be sent to Chrome Tech.
i posted a question but never receieved an answer, so i'm gonna ask again. to mount the skirts flush, do the ears need to be cut off of them or, would it be better to scrape some plastic from inside the fenders?

i didn't know if they'd look right or not. i've thought about chrome paint and Alclad but i'd need a gun for Alclad...i think i'll just send em to Chrome Tech cause i'd rather have em chromed anyway.

Duane, lookin' good. Ilike that you removed that gravel sheild from the rear fender, never looked right to me. On the subject of glue, don't use Tower hobbies med. CA+ called Build-It. Did an order with them, this was a "deal", like to never got it opened. Tried most all the strait pins I could find, bent all, got a safety pin opened it used small vise grips to grab pin an push it in to make an opening, trying not to squeeze bottle to tight, did'nt want it every where, was almost ready to get nbr. 1 tool, big hammer, finally the pin went through. Sueezed alittle out just to be sure it was opened, put cap on. Was attempting a 40Ford conver. deluxe to coupe, standard frt. to convrt. this stuff is supposed to wick, got things in place put glue bottle where I wanted it squeezed one very little spot came out. Opened whole again, couldn't hardly get pin out, forgot not to squeeze to hard on bottle, came out like a dam had burst. Have learned not to be without a towel when I wrk. with glue.Cleaned mess, put lid on put away, used some Testors super glue and Krazy glue also. So if I'm ever offered a "deal", I'll stay with what I use most. Good luck with the fleetline, getter done.
