You are right Micha but I tried at first with fishing line and there as just no way that it would bend and stay in shape like wire.... so I decided to go with wire

I am planning to give everything a really heavy hand with the dirt when it's all together. One of the things that I do like about my short supply of reference pictures is that they show that this car looked like crap at the race!! It was beaten to sh*t and held together with Duck Tape!

So, I'm going to read all your and Phil's and Sean's and XX's threads again and have a go at weathering the car up to "race condition" (actually, it will be an excuse to cover any bads that I make )

PS How do you like your spaghetti?
