Tom, I¡¯m starting on a EMD FL9. Pretty specific on the size. I¡¯m going to follow Dan Vandermause¡¯s guidelines in converting a couple of brown undecorated old American Models FP7 shells. I found I had two shells sitting on my shelf from two different friends the FP7 is about 5¡¯ too short so I need to add about 5¡¯. I appreciate it Tommy but the sizes are pretty specific. This is a project I¡¯ll work around as I build a layout. I don¡¯t have a huge space, but I just had someone come to work up an estimate on a drop ceiling. I just framed and primed the room. I¡¯ll be painting the walls pale blue and my friend is a professional artist and he¡¯ll spay some clouds for me.?
