jjsipes Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 (edited) Caught up at work so, I pulled this out to get ready for some paint. Man, I think Round 2 should do alittle work on there molds or something. The fit of the nose is not good. The rear body panel was to wide for the body. The deck lid spoiler doesn't align with the spoiler ends on the quarter panels. The fit of the nose and tail panels leave alot to be desired. Have spent about 4 hours on this already in trying to get the nose and tail to work. Edited May 16, 2019 by jjsipes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjsipes Posted May 16, 2019 Author Share Posted May 16, 2019 I took the time and drilled out the scoops to hopefully make then look better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vamach1 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 The scoops look much better. The fiberglas on the real cars had fitment problems too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotrod 97 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Nice job on the body work. I ran into the same fitment issues with the ‘67 GT-350 that I’m currently working on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jjsipes Posted May 21, 2019 Author Share Posted May 21, 2019 Got my first coat of primer sprayed. Got alittle work yet. I've lost my panel separation lines but I dont think I'm gonna worry to much about them I've got the deck lid fitting better, I just glued it shut and worked on it.

jjsipes Posted May 23, 2019 Author Share Posted May 23, 2019 Got the primer done, and sprayed some Blue on it that I had left over from my 61 Pontiac Ventura. It's not perfect but, neither is the kit in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bauercrew Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 I hear ya I bought the same one ,along with the 66 nova, and the 57 chevy from round 2,never again dealing with round 2,the 66 nova rear was too wide the rear tires wouldn't even fit under body, the seats were to big wouldn't fit in the interior bucket,plus the body seemed very soft when I put a very light coat of primmer on it ,it crazed like crazy,and the 57,the chrome head light buckets WERE not fitting in the hole of the body they were either to big or the cut out for the light was way too small,tryed to trim down the light but it needed to much trimming ended up going throught the light housing a little,so I just ened up glueing them on and blended it into the body ,so instead of building it stock now im going to have to go with some kind of custom job ,which is really way out of my comfort zone cause I never modified bodies before even if it just slapping some bondo on and the bumpers,,my god ,the mold lines were so bad just stripped those and again probably paint to match car....So just giving ya heads up if you got those also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjsipes Posted June 10, 2019 Author Share Posted June 10, 2019 Since I was foiling my 57 Bel Air, I thought I might as well do my Shelby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
