  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    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.
