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"

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
