The only problem I recall people talking about on here is the Ollie's kits had no chrome plating. I just checked my Ollie's kit date and it is 2007 on the Canary version. I have not opened it.
There are pictures floating around of a few cars done up in clay at the studio's for the big three done this way. It makes sense to do just half of the car one way and the other the half the other.
This is going to be cool when done. What a shame the resin was not flat and totaly cured when it was sent to you.
I wonder if a finger nail UV curing light would help the bed?
