It turned out fine Rick!
The gold leaf I have is "variegated" anyway and yours looks more realistic.
I only bought the leaf I use because thats the stuff Sundance used on his bodies so....
Very nice car and a proud addition to the stable.

Jairus, if it wasn't for your encouragement and knowing that you were there to help me I would not have attempted the build....thank you.

Thank you sir, but you are talented enough for anything...speaking of which. How about another proxy race?

Thanks Jairus. I've seen the current proxy thread and I think this old school builder will pass and let you guys carry on.
