Andy, 
sorry but the Secret Auto Makin’ Rules
(sam-ers) say you
· Have to finish the exterior in an Exact Factory Color
· All chrome on the 1:1 car Must be retained and kept as shinny as the kit maker made it.
· The interior Must be kept to the standards given by the kit manufacture (after all they know car best).
· At no time shall any extra material be used to represent break lines, spark plug wires, fan belts or fuel lines.
· There is a ban on the changing any of the kits tires or wheels (Note: A waiver for a wheel/tire change, Can be obtained from the stanchioning body [Parts Integration Assembly - PIA], if applied for 14 days before starting the kit or unwrapping the kit whichever comes first, and the proper fees and gratuities are received prior to the start of the build)
You as a new Automotive Builder may find these few simple rules a tiny bit cumbersome at first, but as you experience the joy of Obverse Original Build (OOB) you will see the wisdom in having the special rules, for the special people that build models. Next month you will receive a sealed letter with the special code you need to use to sign into the web site and an illustration of how to perform the secret hand shake.
Until you official in vesture into the Secret Society of Automotive Plastic Model Builders (SSAPB- pronounced “sis-abbs”). You may feel free to:
- Build any model as you see fit
2. Color the same anyway you feel like
3. Add or delete any parts or portions as you see fit
4. Provide on-line WIP posts on FSM web site
5. Enjoy yourself

8. Relax, it is only a plastic model not your Master’s Thesis.
9. Enjoy yourself , and finally most importantly
10. ENJOY YOURSELF.
