customizing tip ;
when splicing to different castings together the body halves' beltlines don't align, file the doorskins smooth and taper the beltlines to flush for a better fit... do this before you cut the castings in half [rigidity], i tape off the A & B pillars and roof's edge on both cars so i don't nick them with the file... you can see the "wavy" area [white car] where the castings meet.. i heat the novahgon's A & B pillars [both door jams] with a candle so they don't snap, then gently pry the novahgon doors apart so they align with the t bird's doors [1/32"] ... i file [J B QUICK] "slots" into the doors of both donars... makes the bond stronger, holds up to the finish filing...Diecast Cars, Hot Wheels, Matchbox

I love that Munster roadster, Smitty. Great way to take generic mainlines and dress them up with a special edition car. I dub it, The Spookster. Nicely done, as always.
