thanks folks. nah there won't be any factory correct stripes or anything else going on here. I'm not even sure what color it's gonna be yet. I've been thinking about doing the Super Snake style stripe with a single larger stripe and some narrow outter stripes ... or something to that effect. It's been soaking in oven cleaner a couple days now and the old paint is coming right off, so I should make some progress in the next week or so. I'd really like to correct the typical diecast "rounded corners" here and there but I'm not sure exactly how to attack that. You'd think the seams would be perfect on a diecast but apparently not. Anyway, it's my first try so we'll see.
