Fully agree that this is a bit of an engineering project - researching pictures and drawings, measuring, drawing, experimenting with what works best for the transfer process. And then a bit of artistry to nudge 'em a bit here or there to make 'em look "right."
The kit for the Hellcat came with 2.25k rivets and I'm already 1/3 the way through them. So, I'm ordering another 10k from Mirce. I'll probably have a few leftover, but I don't want to be caught short
In parallel, I'm refurbishing the Robart 150 GS retracts. Even these are getting old at 20+ years!
