Fred,
You will need to make a pattern that gives the shape of the flaire so I can cut it to shape. Each one of these darn cars has a different shape (width) at or near the bottom. The reason it should be 12" to 14'' tall is because anything more than that will get us into the compound curve problem. As Wilf says, "It can be done" and they talk about it in the insructions, but if we can minimalize compound curves it will be good. The good news is, the stuff is easy to remove if we botch the job.
I just brought home my son's first car. A 1996 Chev. Corsica. Not a bad little car, not a hot rod by anyone's measure, but a lot more car than I had at his age (they still hand cranked cars when I was his age
). He is headed for the Air Force after graduation and the car should serve him well. 'Course he is taking a framed picture of himself strapped into the Cobra just to show that he really is cool.
