Gov - Great, great work!!!

My Taxi pf wasn't nearly as bad off, and I ultimately chickened-out of using the masks you kindly sent me a while back when I was seriously considering doing more painting than I ultimately did. I left most of the original colors - funny thing, your masks were soooo *perfect* (down to the leaves trailing from the apple tree near the right ramp) that I mistakenly left one of the teeny vinyl pieces ontop of a leaf and sealed it under my new coat of mylar!!!!

I'm re-populating the pf now and taking stock of exactly what list of parts I need to re-order to make it complete, re-building the pieces is like one big jigsaw puzzle!!!

Where are those "Drive" arrows from on the pf???

Ahhh, gotcha - didn't think they were for Taxi!!!

Urrrmmmm, why red pop skirts??? Blue would look much better IMHO.......wow lookit that shine!! Excellent!

Blue really does look so much better than the red - did mine in blue also.

Here's a hint. For the five "staggered" bulbs in the backbox, you will want to make a "cone" to go over the sockets (like the one on the traffic signal) because you will get bleed-over from the lights into the traffic signal otherwise.

I also added a couple of cut cardboard overlays to the traffic signal to cut out all bleed-over from that area and placed them onto the block that is already surrounding those.

Looks great!!

If you have it, could you email me a pic of the tilt mech? Mine needs repair and I want to see how a correct one is wired, etc.

Try re-positioning your shooter rod and rubber tip so that it is DEAD CENTERED on the ball.

Also, it is easy to remove that metal strip and re-apply it with some strong 2-part epoxy and two clamps. I did that to mine as the repro I received was also crooked and not in the same position as the original.

My strip actually popped right off with a little "prodding" - use a wooden wedge and find an edge that you can work upwards (that way you won't scratch the plastic). It's been a while, but I *think* the glue used actually came off onto the metal strip, and I just peeled it away.........

Sorry I can't be more specific, but I really think it was just that easy. Maybe I was lucky that my glue job wasn't a great one?....?.....
