    I'll say it again. Rather than starting new threads, please keep your projects in ONE thread. This makes it easier to follow down the road. It's already hard enough to search this site. We don't need a new thread every time you make an update to your project. I hope this is the last time I'll have to ask. Thanks!

    So you're using your decals as masks? Just painting, then peeling off the decals?
    Some of them are store bought. SOme are custom cut by me and free handed. The taping process is very tedious. Its all in the prep work. Even after you have to clean the edges with a q-tip and goo-gone. You want all the lines to be smooth. I do not suggest trying this at home. I swore probably 1000 times. Variety is the spice of life! Hope you guys enjoy. Stay tuned for daily progress.

    A white engine would look like plastic or just fake.
