well, not really. Olthoff will do that for you if you request it, but it is not inherit for him to do so if not requested, in fact , many do not want to detract from the original experience. I have spent about 2 hours making mine more watertight, about the same amount of time I spent with my CAV, and it was quite easy; some neoprene here, some RTV there, no biggie. the cars are truely a thrilling experience and their originality is a large part of that. No other replica can really duplicate it.
