    No point in starting another thread on this I guess. This is my first attempt at a 3” chop on the Revell ‘32. I found this thread after the fact, so I dropped the C pillar straight down. Accordingly, I had to add a little to the B pillar. I made a slit at the top and bottom of the A pillar and leaned them forward and back till they lined up. The sprue glue I used for filler works great...but it takes a long time to dry into solid styrene again. If I was to do it again (I mean WHEN I do it again?) I may cut the entire A pillar out and then file the length down at the proper angles to fit? All in all, I am happy with the results.

    Edit: I see some pics of these cars where the upper hinge is on the A pillar, and some where it is just below the belt line. Is that a stock difference, or a modification? Obviously I need to move it down so they will be aligned. Thanks.
