Bob can attest to the challenge of working w/ the white metal Bowser PCC 
bodies, since he helped me do my pair of Toronto A-12 cars(ex 
Louisville-Ex-Cleveland). The pair turned out ok, but there are a few things 
that I wish I had done differently and could have easily revised w/ the 
plastic shells, which would have been far more workable. I also did a 
Detroit PCC which once again would have been far easier working w/ plastic 
body. RICH
