Progress Pics of my NSX (56K beware!!!)
Here are some progress pictures of an NSX im working on. the first three pictures hopefully show you how i attached the mirrors to the body using plastic rod. i first CA glued the mirrors into position, then i drilled holes from the inside of the car through the mirror. i snapped the mirrors off and sanded the CA glue smooth on the body and the base of the mirrors. i then inserted a small plastic rod that will hold the mirror in perfect placement even after painting the body. i learned about doing stuff like this from this very forum
 . hope it makes sense   to help me to paint parts in a timely fashion, i place parts according to color into this little sewing organizer i got from the craft store for $2.  i sanded off the washer jets to make it easier to polish later... not sure how im gonna put them back yet. but i hate not being able to polish around them so i cut them off for now. i also put some Mr. Surfacer on the sanded parts to make them smooth.  here is a pic of the enging after painting it using a bunch of alcad  finally, here is a pic of the suspension dry fit onto the chassis.  questions, comments, suggestions are always welcome. thanks! Rob

While you have all your Alclad out, remember the whole chassis is aluminum, too.
 Nice work so far...
