How'd you get the headlight lenses clear? If that's not Photoshop, I'd like to know how to do it to my copies.

I just paint the lens satin black with a very steady hand and a fine brush. Then with a whittled down Q-Tip shaft or anything pointy and soft, touch it to the nib of a silver Sharpie and smear a small spot to resemble a beam on the black lens. They look better just left black too, then if you want you can highlight a beam in Photoshop. Select a gray tone and a small brush with about 5% opacity. One click will do.

Thank you...so, is the maroon I see in the lens just a reflection off the black paint? It really looks like it is now a clear lens, and the spot of maroon being the body color inside the 'cavity' beneath the lens.

What you see Dean, is a splotch of amber with the Photoshop airbrush to represent the turn signal behind the smoked lens.

Now I need to chase down that '71 Mach 1. That is awesome Robert!

One question: is there any difference between the Mach 1 UR in this release and the first one? Because it looks pretty much the same on the site. Unless it's just the card and release that makes the difference???

That's a good question. There are 2 more Licensed Premiums coming up in Release 3 also (Hemming's Muscle.) It must have either Top Gear or Road & Track cards as the only difference. This is an ask Mike G. question. Ah Mike...gotta minute?
