    Hello Keith,and the rest of you guys,I spent a lot of time on these 'valances'. First up I thought about simply using 'tape' ( a plastic based auto masking tape,brilliant stuff!) and sticking it from one end of the chassis block to the other accross the tops of the 5 valances..it worked,held them in place,but I thought 'no',they will still come off! So,I then decided just to simply have them 'one length', I used 'micro' strip on each join and superglued each one together ensuring it was dead straight. This was then put in place on the chassis block and I used the tape again,if it falls off this time, it'll be as one!!..I gave up on that idea, and simply just superglued the whole thing onto the chassis block!!. It's all straight ,there are no loose or wonky valances now!! Lastly, as much as I tried,even filed the 'fixed' valances Keith as you said,I could not get the body to 'sit down' on the front corners,in othe words,I have that 'gap' If I 'fix' one, it pops up at the other end,it's like something inside the body is stopping it,maybe the cabs are not in properly,but as I said,they are glued in, but I will if necessary rip the things out and try that,it's just so frustrating!! Anybody else having this problem?? Dave
