Dick, Thanks for the suggestion and especially thanks for your encouragement. This list is truly a friendly place. Bill Porter also sent me a fairly lengthy reply that was full of good ideas and suggestions. It's good to have all this expertise available to help folks like me to get started. Regards... Peter

Never have I needed any kind of glue. Many of the parts have pins that are a force fit into their mounting holes (like the tanks under the running boards). Some parts must be secured with the so-called "speed nuts" that slide over mounting pegs from the inside the body shell. Regarding the cab, I have always chosen not to secure the cab at all, preferring it to be removable. (Perhaps this is because I never liked the Pennsy-style cap and wound up replacing the cabs with different ones.) Don't be intimidated. I built my first Rex kit (a Suburban) when I was in junior high school. I was too young to know it was supposed to be difficult.
