With the Pimp my ride campaign getting some steam I thought I''d ask about the auto build area. I haven''t done to many cars so it''s all a bit of a challenge to me. What is the hardest part for you?

I would vote "other"

its not really hard but more boring and time consuming and thats sanding off all the mold lines and injector pin marks!!!

Paint!

No other answer would do for me.
I can't get a glassy finish to save my life.

Definitely the finish. I have been working hard on my Galaxie. I have stripped the paint several times, but still not satisfied. Perhaps I'll learn some time.

I chose "other", 'cause the mold seams and ejector pin marks on some car bodies are a pain. Not all of the time, just sometimes...

I put other..after really thinking about it I'd have to say foiling is the part I least enjoy. especially those 50s and 60s cars with 8 acres of chrome
