I recieved this kit as a present from my wife a while back. The darn flip hood needs a lot of work to fit tight to the body without gaps. I failed in my attempt so like another forum member did I decided to cut off the hood from the fenders. I then grafted the fenders to the body and that went well. But now the hood after cutting it off doesn't sit on the fenders without falling off.
Frustration has set in so now I'm trying to decide if I want to do it as a curb side, or drag car without the hood on.
Good luck with the build James.
