Thanks Jim! I'll tell you guys, I've spent the last couple of days ironing the hood and body blemishes out from all of the ejector pin marks and sink holes. There are tons of these things present all over the body and hood!! This kit is not one of Revell's more stellar kits but the molds are pretty old so I have to remember that when I want to complain.
I removed the badging from the front of the hood and have completed all the body work on it. My next two plans for it are to cut out the rectangle in the hood for the carburetors and now that the bottom of the hood is all nice and smooth I'll probably shoot some chrome Spaz Stix on the undersides for a show truck style effect. Hopefully it'll turn out good enough to give a nice reflection of the engine off of it after I polish it up.
I've re-worked the newer firewall/ forward cab area both inside and out starting with the removal of , you guessed it, ejector pin marks on the cab side of the floor area. I moved next to the firewall and removed all of the molded in wiring and component detail so I could install separate components and use real wire instead of the molded detail for a more realistic approach under the hood. I've still gotta fabricate brake and clutch pedals to make all that stuff work underneath.
