You could remove all the GSX glitter, paint it Rosewood brown and sell it to me turning a reasonable profit for your time.

How long did that take you? Would you do one for someone else?

I'm not sure really, worked on it off and on for a while, probably 5 hours?? Doing one for somebody else gets complicated, where do you get the right paint, what if they're not happy with it, what does it cost....right now pretty busy as well. :Do No:

Tim, that's fantastic!!! Excellent work!

How do you reassemble after the rivets are drilled out?

Well on that one I got lucky, when I drilled the rivet heads off, it was just enough to pop the car apart...it later snapped back together again. I also tapped the rivet standoffs for 4-40 screws and have the car mounted in a clear case now. You could also just use short 4-40 screws to hold the car together.

It turned out better than I thought it would.
