Topic: i am crushed!

i destroyed my GT's body

i used a lamp to help warm some epoxy i was repairing windshield surround with and the a-pillars and roof went from flat to potato chip in 2.4 seconds.

i am crushed to have destroyed something which had survived SO many years.

i was also excited to be putting my livery on it as well... i had stripped all the other glass pieces off successfully and had sanded it all down.  it was literally just a few hours from getting Monte's favorite paint job.


UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGHHHH!!!


help me find another one please!

Re: i am crushed!

That's too bad Chris, what a bummer. Can you turn it into the roadster version? 

You haven't built any unauthorized sheds have you?

Re: i am crushed!

It will likely become a weird looking version of a roadster but not sure how it will proceed.  Way too much time and effort for that to top my list for a while.  I need to finish the basement and get a track in there before embarking on an endeavor like that.  In the meantime I have gone back to trolling the internet for another.

Any reasonable leads would be appreciated.  Just need a half decent body, happy to fix cracks...  Just can't do wavy roofs.
