Re: Re: worst nightmare!!!!
Instead of getting a new body, why not fix the old one? Did the paint thinner melt the plastic? Well, if it did I don't think it can be fixed, but you could always use wire to make the shape of the window frame, stickytape the plastic to it, and glue it using the metal as a frame to hold the plastic in place.

Re: worst nightmare!!!!
Just fix the broken frame. After gluing the windshield, it will hold the frame in the right shape.

Getting the body from Revell should work... while on the subject, anyone know a working email for Revell-Monogram where I can ask them some questions about buying parts for a resto project? I would feel guilty to get the parts for free and just pay shipping.

Re: worst nightmare!!!!
I did a similar thing to my wide body GTR so I made custom frames out of a scrap piece of 'tree' to even things up a little I broke the other side as well and did the same

Ordering from Revell doesn't take that long.
I thought I lost the wheels for my Enzo, so I ordered new ones. They came in about a week or less. The day after they came the set I thought I lost magically re-appeared.
