Thanks a lot Si, I appreciate it ! The styrene tube is 3/4 inch and was hard to find. I wrapped it with .015 sheet styrene to achieve the correct diameter. Regards, Bobby |

Thanks Si ! Tichy has a great selection of grabs, end steps and wire. The car is painted and decaled, but the photo is too big to post. I'll try to cut it down. Regards, Bobby |
