What was your most challenging repair or modification in 2019?
Just filling the blank...created this thread by mistake so I didn't want to leave it like ".(EOM)"

Here is mine ...
Unfortunately I didn't have much time for model building in 2019 ? this was probably the biggest modification I did in 2019: 1957 Pro Chevy
Will try to do better in 2020

I had to re-glue the wing on my 'Breathless'. Maybe I'll get brave and do something like what...
... you did someday. I've never really cared for the wing on 'any' of my pro-street/modified cars. But, the rest of the details that DM put in them was incredible.

47 Bentley rear wheels
Friend had a 47 Bentley and BOTH rear wheels were broken off at the axle ends. Had to dismantle the car (way easier than the 41 Chevy - no hidden screws), drill the axles and broken ends, insert rods, re-glue. Reassemble. Was fortunate not to break any of the delicate parts. Only bad thing was I got glue in the moving parts of one wheel. So it doen't roll freely, which isn't a bad thing, really.

mine was more modest but STILL challenging
Balancing my Checkbook was the trickiest Diecast Feat I accomplished last year.......I have taken apart enough of these to know,your modification work looks first class from where I sit

That dump truck Is perfect !!!!...
.......last time I told you how much I liked this mod......this time,let me just say that your "computer grade clean room " just doesn`t look realistic!!! 😐

(Pic) Modest modification: WCPD 1961 Chevrolet...
severe paint rash when purchased, missed the hubcaps - but I was glad to find one at all in black / grey.
Sanded and modified it to a used car.

Interesting, haven't thought about "restoring" a model by making it look like a survivor.
