I want to try a few custom coloring/paint jobs on the VB, to do so I obviously need shells to work with.

I’ve been having trouble acquiring even a broken VB on eBay so I thought I’d ask the PVB community.

Does anyone have a spare shell/broken VB they can give/sell me?

My first project will be to make a blue VB to add to my custom blue system collection.

The second project will be to reddify one. I have some crazy ideas about making it an even more exciting red.

He’s in Canada, a lot of these only ship to the US. Maybe he just needs someone to bid and ship it to him ?

Lester – I was looking earlier today…I`m befuddled as to how I missed it.

bigmak – I do have an US mailing address to solve that problem, although a straight shot helps.

I have been bidding on several, but I`m never on to seal the deal.

I just tried to find it in completed listings, and I can`t find it. :S

I have finally acquired a spare shell. I will be starting the custom work tonight.
