hey bud,,,, ill tell you the best look for you cub as far as the covering, is SIG- Coverall. Use the SIG STIX-IT to apply the fabric. Shrink up tight with a iron. go the the hair shop and ask for a couple of rolls of pink hair tape, works good for pinking. Before you do the ribs, use silocone caulk and dap on the rib to simulate stiching. use small amounts of caulk as you have to get the hair tape over it. Apply hair tape over the ribs for that great look. Spray thinned bute(not brushed) "some people will argue"over the entire surface till all areas are filled....when you look at it,you will see what i mean..."pin holes" when thats all covered then spray with color and you will have the most sexy cub you have ever seen.. the cublover,,,Rod
