        Michael, MAN,Oh, MAN  !!!!
        
        Whatever you do, pay attention to the suggestion in the
directions to use a medium speed setting CA cement. 
        I just had a conversation with Joe Lofland about ordering another
kit.  I was going great, got to the point of attaching the roofs.  (After
paint and decals)  It looked great !  Then some of the really fast CA ran
out from under part of one of the roofs, got between my finger and the
car body, and the rest, as they say, is history.
        I used INSTANT JET on the first kit.  Switched to SUPER JET for
the other ones.  MUCH BETTER !!!!
        The Instant Jet is good for SOME things IF YOU HAVE THE PART
EXACTLY WHERE YOU WANT IT AND IF YOU HAVE REALLY GOOD CONTROL OVER HOW
MUCH ADHESIVE IS GOING TO FLOW, AND WHERE.  For the biggest part of the
project, though, use the Super Jet.  I would also recommend that you buy
a bottle of JET SET.  It's an accelerant and will set the medium speed CA
instantly after every thing is in place.  One little spray at the glue
joint after the Super Jet and part is attached, and it will set up like
the Instant Jet.  You get the benefit of a little more working time until
you have it just right.  Then, poof, and it's set.  I'm told that the
slower setting stuff make for a little stronger joint too, over the
instant stuff.  The Jet Set will also work with any brand of CA adhesive,
not just the Jet products.  It does not harm the resin.  And I even used
it sparingly (one light pump) when I had to, over the paint.  No Problem
!  Also, if you can find Jet Set with a pump sprayer, and if you like it,
 keep the sprayer when the bottle is empty.  I'm told that now the Jet
Set is being sold without the pump.  You may need the pump again.
        Hope this helps
