Thanks for the quick reply and referral. Also was wondering about any sources for decals (for the gas tank, oil tank, etc). Thanks

Personally, I've used Diablo decals out of Canada but there are others out there. Diablo doesn't have everything and their 73 swish is only available for the DT3|RT3 so I had to cut some of the bottom to use on the CT3/AT3. I think DC plastics has some decals as well.

Duplicolor Chevy Orange engine paint matches the Portuguese Orange.  A forum search will reveal several posts on this.

Unfortunately a member who posted a lot of great and helpful paint matches got his panties in a bunch a while back and appears to have deleted all of his paint match posts here...  there are still others though.

This expression is in an Eminem song, and I've always wondered what it meant - now I know, so thanks Mark!

"knickers in a knot" or "knickers in a twist" would be the likely UK equivalent?

Basically means becoming overly upset...  usually about something trivial, misunderstood, or not that important.

Yes, although "throwing your toys out of the pram" gets used more widely over here nowadays.

Now I had to look up "Pram" as here on the east coast a pram is a small row boat.

Portuguese orange from VMR paints, Competition yellow from VMR is good too. Chrysler PS2 heaviest metallic alternate in Omni base matches Crystal silver so perfect it’s crazy.
