Thanks Marty for posting this for me. ****INSIDE****

The problem started when I asked before my purchase the body. "Would I use the Polar Lights kit for the chassis"? The answer was "Yes". So I bought it... only to find out the PL was to long. I was so put out I decided to make my own (which is in primer right now). I'll move forward to shorten this part up. I decided to try to shorten the PL chassis. Well that worked. The seller could have told me that I would have to shorten the PL kit. OK that's over.
here is the part that just about got this body launched under my car tire. I thought I had prepped the body as I always prep resin. Now two coats of mist primer and I noticed fish eyeing, but I was stubborn I waited for it to dry good then came over with a heavier coat...............BIG mistake, that thing looked like I was on stage and thousands of eye were looking at me. because of resin I decide to strip it with a number of things by what I would call by hand with no soaking. Got it stripped and the same thing happened... let's go forward two more strips. I think all the stripping finally got all the release agent off and I decided one more using the light coats then a heavier coat. Didn't notice any fish eyes looking back at me so out came the paint and using the same process I was smiles from ear to ear except I could see some scratch marks... so I said self what do I have to lose, so I cleared it with a slight wet sand and a second clear. It seemed to work ok so I left it and that is what I got. Not my best effort but I Oliver was so happy I wasn't complaining about it anymore.
Again thanks everybody for looking and the kind words... Stay tuned in for the body I have in primer I started during all this turmoil.
