AMT Chevy II Funny Car Body

[Casey]

Am I seeing this correctly? Maybe this kit had something (paint? glue?) smeared lengthwise along the inside of the rear quarter panel, but it looks like this body shell is unpainted, so *gulp* is this what the actual body looks like on the inside of the quarter panel(s)?

Unfortunately , mine looks the same.

I wonder if it was mods to the original casting to make the Altered body.

That is a part of the mold, Casey. Mine has it too (along with a few other AMT kits of that era).

Thanks for the confirmation, guys.

I would say that particular section of the mold never got fully cleaned up nor smoothed out. Good thing it's on the inside of the body.

It may be that it was never finished, but I've also seen similar lumps and flaws on the insides of hidden parts. To me they look like flow channels put on the tooling to help the injection of the molten plastic to go into smaller areas or the deepest and farthest points away from where it began in the tool.
