Re: FXX...long WIP

Great job on the decaling Paul. I would suggest cleaning up that mold line on the radiator though, it is quite visible and stands out in aluminum. Keep up the great work.

Mike.

Re: FXX...long WIP

this has been a stunning car your making, I can't believe how much detail your putting into the car, I almost looks like the real thing except the engine doesn't fire.

just absolute stunning

Re: FXX...long WIP

Th CF work is getting better. I bought a heat lamp and the new decal softner MicroSol works much MUCH better than Solvaset... so its a little easier. But I have to order more CF sheets as I have already gone through 5 full sheets.

Yeah, yeah, yeah!

This is so good, so clean, I wouldn't know what to improve or change.

It's perfection in the making!
