@100ford2003 Thanks! Yes, those whitewalls are the correct width - I adjusted what Ertl did (SEE PICS ) and I cut-out and hinged that trunk. It was...
BINGO! I learned this lesson many "tears" ago. 🙄 😞
Great selection of cars!

PART 3: Done for now.... a few more little things to do, but essentially, I'm ready for the next project. 👍 🤓 🧐
@chevelle1967 No I have not. I haven't worked in 1/24 - 1/25 scale in decades. Did someone do that, or did DM re-issue "open trunks?"
Yeah man, I dig that Bat-cool Mercury vibe! 😎 😎
