Lindberg 64 Dodge 330 assembly ?

[Jon Haigwood]

Question for someone that has built the Lindberg 64 Dodge 330 (Ramcharger/Color Me Gone). Does the rear body panel have to be installed after the body is on the chassis ? Or can it be attached to the rear below the trunk lid and painted before assembly ?

Thanks

Before assy / before paint

Thanks  . After a closer look at the 1:1 car that panel will need to have the ends filled and sanded smooth any way. The 64 Plymouth body I am building has it attached and there doesn't seem to be any issues with assembly.

Correct, on the 1/1 the seam is lead filled

I built my Color me gone kit a while ago now, but I made the mistake of NOT fitting it before paint.....I so wish I did as the rear panel had a major warp to it, still you learn from your mistakes .....
