I thought I would show what I have been doing over the weekend. Feel free to ask questions....Im basically building it the same way as Michael did on his front row cars......why not? I'd be dumb not to copy ;D
It is well worth cutting the suspension off and drill hole. Then use small wire and "stupid glue it" ;D into the holes of the suspension.
Its also a great idea to do up (finish it) the cockpit and get it over with. Then later just mask it off real good.
The one thing to watch out for is to, take the extra step in making sure you don't have any dents an scratches before paint!!!!Especially Gold.
Gold is weird, you don't spray it on, you dust it on. I noticed if I spayed it on normally it did some strange stuff? So dusting it on worked for me
its wastefully but it got the job done. Also I would recommend Clear coating it a few hrs. later, because Gold scratchs....soooo ...easily 
The only thing that I'm not liking...still as Ive been "WIP-ing" is the more that paint drys the more I see the scratches, dents and excess glue that is showing, the reason why is I fiddled and faddled around with getting this engine cover to fit so much that it just happens....mistakes happen
The other thing that I just kick myself for....and I know better
Is not to eye ball the masking lines. but I think I will be ok when I put the green decal over the (wet sanded smooth) masking line
I should of took the time and measure it out like a good little boy. ;D But nope I had to go like hell and rush.
