Mike, concerning extended bodies are several methods around - one is to by them pre-manufactured / valid method though - but brrrrrrr. The dubbing method is as follows: You need the needle, dubbing, and some glue. Put some head cement on the needle, dub and slide the body off. Before you slide the body off, twist it a bit to free the body from the needle and voila. Rene Germany
