Re: M20 Dreaming

Hi Terry, we must have been writing at the same time as when I posted I saw your lastest post. I have watched the demo's and as you say the stuff is pretty impressive but it still has the "Flex" that seems to be the thorn in this disscusion. I have to say that puting the tub together with that tape would sure be a lot cleaner and easier than any apoxy or liquid glue, I wonder how it would be if riveted as well. The distortion of the panels you talked about with the glue under the rivets would be worse as I would think the glue would be thinner than the tape but it beggs the question, Do you need the rivets??? I would want the rivets for my car as it is part of the detail of the replica tub, without them it just wouldn't look right. I have to admit the tape has me thinking. Cheers Leonmac. Just a note about the dimple effect, if you look at some pictutres of riveted mono they seem to have a little of it and it just adds to the character, Thats just my thoughts.
