Having ploughed/plowed through the coupe kit I feel your pain... looks like you're knocking this one into shape though.

Creative improvement of the front fenders. I seem to remember that there is only one rear light in the kit (check the instruktions so you don't have to waste time looking for it).

Thanks Ulf. I researched it a bit and one source says a passenger side taillight was standard equipment on a Cabriolet, and another says it was a dealer installed option.? Anyways this kit does come with two tail lights and the instructions notably say “right side optional”. So I am going to install them both.

…on that note, I think the kit pieces are a little large so I chopped them back a tad and added some red sprue lens. 

 

I added brass pins to the rumble seat steps and drilled holes in the body at the locations that were marked with a very faint raised ridge. I wasn’t happy with the location after mounting the tail lights, so I plugged the holes  with stretched sprue. The pads have a big sink mark in the center and were not sitting perfectly level where the standoffs had the best fit on the fender.

I remounted them lower on the fender and cut the pads off. Drilled and pinned the gas cap too.🙂

 

I made some new pads from 0.156” Evergreen rod and added pins so they can be installed after paint.
