Some filler and experimental, brushed-on, 2-part urethane primer...
The roof flattens out just a bit in the center. Need to check the references again to see what's right...

Looks nice, Bill. I'm seriously toying with trying this and building a club sedan myself if I can find an acceptable representative of an Olds 6.
For curiosity, you were suggesting that the AMT plastic is a bit thicker. How is sanding the two roof sections possible without creating warpage?
I'll be watching this.

Thanks one and all for the interest and comments.
Nothing too exciting, just a little strip of glass cloth and epoxy to insure the roof seam doesn't crack...
And a fill of epoxy / cotton flock along the fender seams. Now I can get horsey with the rest of the bodywork with no danger of disaster.

Where might I find the glass cloth that you are using?

Ken, this particular cloth is marketed for RC model planes. A good hobby shop should have it.
