Timo!! I am happy to see you once again! (UH-GANE) I love the car you chose to retore. I was happy to see you use your special, quality, trick file once more to remove wheels from axles. The term I have heard for the damage to the roof is, "casting loss." I have had a couple restorations which suffered from that malady. The paint comes off, and it's a dull surprise, as it were. Parallel Pliers!! YES!!! (I am waiting for the hammer you made) The slow drying thinner you use I have seen used to remove paint from the car glass multiple times. I was surprised the headlights didn't come in "black out" trim from the War. I wish you would have done the DEE-CALs because it was part of the lore of that exact model. I compliment your beautiful restoration, Timo! I would love to see you stray to a Solido or Spot-On brand car to restore. Some odd ball thing you could have some fun with. The Aston Patrick McGoohan drove in that one episode, or the MB he drives in the Danger Man opening. All the best, Timo!! Best, Stephen
