    EPP would be better than polystyrene. It is the foam that looks like PS but has a more rubber like feel. It is not affected by heat or solvents....much better than PS.

  8. Ratty: Here in the US we can get a '67 Mustang bumper without too much trouble. What did you have to do to get yours? Tim

    i have change my mind for few reason. The garage paint shop is definetly closed, and i paint the scallops outside....my orange pearl is so cool, that i'm affraid to ruin the nice paint job with my kind of "gold/copper/mixed flakes"....i always like ghost flames, so i vote for ghost scallops.....orange flakes, with emerald green stripes. I'm happy about my job, now, i'm a painter ;-p[​IMG]

    That little car had no idea of its eventual fate when it left the factory. What an upgrade!

    I like the idea of going with the ghost scallops on it! It sure would have been a shame if the scallops hadn't turned out on top of that great looking paint job. :rolleyes::cool:
