Ah, Photoshop! The healer of all Ricks (and practically everything else)! I'm sure I'll be using some sort of photo manipulation in processing the photos for the book, but my plan is not to necessarily "repair" finish problems -- just not enough time to mess with every photo like that. I suppose for certain easily fixed things, I could do that, but not every Rick is perfect, and a little gentle aging should be acceptable to the readers.

Paul.....actually I am a pretty good painter, just not very good with graphics so as long as I take my time and layout a good set of flames I shouldn't have a problem. What I was refering to in it being out of the book was more related to it being a custom paint job and that since there are plenty of 4003s8(s) to choose from mine probably wouldn't make the cut.

Randy....I wouldn't mind having a "Paint Party Confluence Ric" but not this one. Makes me wish that I had a beater to do something like that though.

Hey,McCartney apparently had a paint party confluence on his Ric in 1967.
