I have that double dvd set and have had AG1 in the player for a couple weeks now. Have run it several times, freeze framing the parts where the car I want to do appears so I can study it. You do notice a lot more cars in it, that you really never noticed before, when you really start to look at the background details.

This is going to be sweet Doc! I've just finished converting a 56 Delray into 4 door for a future theme. Rescribing door panel lines isn't too bad, just make sure you take your time and keep them straight! AK

Ok got some done had to remove the chrome side strips as there isn't any on the copcar.Some know about panel scrapers,i used this style to start and remove the side moldings.The plastic in question will come off in spiral strips>I also use this to remove all my flashing lines (hate those) after scraping i started to sand whats left of the panel moldings as you can see now we have another issue.there called ghost lines.They are created by the plastic ridges,you can sometimes sand till yer blue in the face,think you have them gone,but when you paint they pop right out there. I may have to sand beyond the flashing and build it back up with putty,i'll wait till i get the rear doors grooved out and put some paint on it to see if they are gone

Hi all I had some issues with carving the rear doors on my cop car. unfortunaly it will not be done this year. Im sure it will be done for next year. I will post some pics of the issues as soon as humanly possible as to help with anybody else that wants to do some door carving(learn from my mistakes). I dont have internet at home and it is causeing me some posting issues. Peace Doc O
