Anyway dude,you do what you want,we'll support ya all the way!

But now is the time ta modify if ya ever gonna do it!

Thanks Phil , Jase , Richard ,and the rest of us nut cases ,that have decided to take on this SS battlestar mother of a project . I appreciate the encouragement to get this as close to right as possible . I am going to leave this bitch alone for a few days , to get my head around it for awhile . I don't know what is more discouraging ,the setback of doing things 3 and 4 times in a row , or the waste of money ,materials and time ,to do it 3 or 4 times in a row !!! Money that can be used towards more kits !!! FRAK ! FRAK ! FRAK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And this is only the engine box shape ! Just imagine the nightmare of that head/bridge section !!!! Jesus ,I need a TYLENOL !!!!
