You are correct Dennis, I want it to look exactly like the 1/25th scale Samba I
have on my desk - just at 1/1!
The over spray thing just bothers me. I was curious if anyone else had ever
seen one in person. It's one of those things I don't get. Like lowering,
chroming non-chrome bumpers, 22' rims, spinners, American Idol. My Wife.
Actually if I bought one in '59 I probably would have looked until I found one
without the most underspray!

Who cares about stuff like that? Good question. For
me and probably 99.9% of vintage car owners the answer is nobody, but there are
people who set the goal of their cars to be exactly like they were on the
showroom floor. And, like the Jehovah's Witnesses, as long as they don't knock
on my door, I don't care what they do. The goal is admirable, just don't pick
on
Murray.
My goal for Murray is for him not to look too much
like a piece of sh*t and run reliably.
James, obviously, wants a work of art, a perfect
thing, and I can't wait to see it. I like to use vintage stock as references,
so
I can see what it was supposed to look like, how it's supposed to
work.

I vote no. Who really cares
about stuff like that?

Simulated overspray? Why? For the enjoyment of some neat freak
judge at some show? Hell no. If you are a neat freak, then get it done
the way you like it. What is the difference in simulated overspray
and a garbage painter? Intent?
I vote no.

patina...
