I really don't know what to say because normally I don't think much of those dragster type models by Lesney, but now look at them with their team mates and I must see another picture of that Lincoln. She has the same aura as a Rolls-Royce when customized, you know it is wrong to do that sort of thing to such high class cars, but when done they look so coooooool!!

G'day Stephan,
Love this thread and any which helps me to get active and do something with my restoration projects which are sitting on shelves in cupboard.

Not ALL for restoration.

I really like your latest project and l@@k forward to more pics as it progresses.

I have read tinman's restoration tips and he says you need a Remell but does not tell me what cutter or grinding-stone to use to cut the diecast.
I have tried, and the stones and cutters I have used clog and shatter. :!:
Have you any advise what to use and how to use it. :?:

Cheers Red.

Hi Red,

I always use files in different sizes.
