Belugawrx Posted April 5, 2014 Author Share Posted April 5, 2014 I'm finding these old AMT kits to be very labour intensive,... but, They were cheap, so,.... Took an1/8" out of the front to close up the hood (bonnet) lines In primer to show all of the filling and sanding left to do WOW!! ghost lines and uneven stuff,.... Back to the fill,sand,fill Oh ya and one more choice of rim/wheel/tires From Monogram's '93 Camaro Z28 (can't see using them on anything else) Thnx for looking and Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominik Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 Hi Bruce, just wondering...what goal did you follow? Perhaps, i don't understand it...why you cut the roof and back? Why did you cut the frontend? Please explain it to me. I think, i have tomatoes on my eyes or i overread something?!? Dont know... [...]Still need to get rid of those ghost trim lines, and add more trim around wells but Panel lines are still there!! [...] Perhaps, i can help. had the same problem at my custom-Impala. Try to "paint" glue on the ghost trim lines, let the glue dry and sand it again. I hope, that will remove them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
