Thanks Roger. I will do more of that when I go back to my friends house next week.

My bad. It is the Duster 340. Sorry about that.

Steve this is not my build. I am just helping my buddy who has Parkisons do the final assembly. I have test fitted this several times but still can't find the issue. Since I don't buiId Mopars I am just looking for people who have built this kit and resolved the issue. This is one of the newer AMT kits. I would have thought they would have better fit than what I am experiancing.

Thanks. I have done somee of that. I also noticed that the interior panels are too wide at the dash board

Has anyone successfully been able to get the chassis/interior to correctly seat in the body at the windshield? I thinned the bottom of the windshield & sanded the front edge of the dash but it still won't seat. Here are some pics.

Luv it!

Thanks Bill. I love this 3D stuff.

When I sit down at the bench I like to have at least a 3 hour window whether I use the time or not.

Thanks for the info Scott. I will make sure I check my listings to make sure about the box size.

What problems are you haveing with the shipping calculator on eBay Scott? I been using it for severals years and hadn't notice anything???

Nice. Luv Vette race cars.

Love the Grand Sports.

Nice. Don't see a 73 in a model very often. I love Vette's.

Good point. I planned to round the edges but will add some flating of the pleats like you suggested.

Thanks for all of the ideas guys. Here are some progress pics of 1 door panel. I glued all of the 1/2 rounds in place skipping the area in the center. Then I made a tepleate for the center and glued it to the center pieces. This was my saw guide. When I finised the cut the center pieces came out with the center piece template. Here's a few pics.

Facinating what can be done with the new resin 3D printers.

I haven't tried that yet, but it is a good idea.

That may be too thick. I think I can do .020 or .030 thick for the center flat piece then the 1/2 round is about .028 to .030.

I do hae a couple of miter boxes. I will check to see what angles they have.

That is another consideration. I just don't know how thick it is. But I think it is the correct pleat size.

That looks like what I need to do. But the number of pleats dictate that we need to use the .060 1/2 round size. But more than that I was looking at how to match the upper & lower pleats. The pleats appear to be at a 30 degree angle but I am not sure the center section is the same angle to cut the pieces. I thought of using pieces to cover the whole door but exclued glue from the center section so I could easily cut it out to insert th flat piece.

I need to do upper & lower pleats in this door panel. The problem I see is that it has a plane section seperating the 2 sets of pleats. I haven't found any sheet plastic with this style of pleats. So I assume I will need to use 1/2 round? Any suggestions on how to do this? Thanks in advance for your help.

Luv it! One of my all time favorite Corvette colors.

The only problem is the V-grove shape is not the correct shape I need since the pleats need to be rounded on the sides.
