Have to build a cradle to hold it in place next. Probably also have to make it removable if only for painting it vs. the car body.

Thanks - I have always thought that those little things add just a bit of much needed identity. quote: That's one fine-looking car. The roof has apparently seen better days. Thanks! That roofing I use works really nicely to convey a used tar paper//canvas that's seen some weather. The Lark Grey adds a nice fade to it that I like. Someday I'm going to run out of that paint........... In a time like ours seemings and portents signify.
