While the Milliput dries, I need to choose wheel tire combo to start on the chassis, and yes! the rear wells are getting a make over.

What do you think 1,2,3,,or4?

I'm finding these old AMT kits to be very labour intensive,... but,

They were cheap, so,....

IMG_3948600x450_zps08d1d253.jpg

Took an1/8" out of the front to close up the hood (bonnet) lines

IMG_3952600x450_zps4824d955.jpg

In primer to show all of the filling and sanding left to do

WOW!! ghost lines and uneven stuff,.... Back to the fill,sand,fill

IMG_3951600x450_zpsac6750a5.jpg

Oh ya and one more choice of rim/wheel/tires

Thnx for looking and

Mistake,....

Meant to pick up (Duplicolor)Grey sandable,.. got Sealer,...

After 2 sanding sticks clogged I went to wet sanding

IMG_3954600x450_zps71afa309.jpg

IMG_3961600x450_zpsa42c27f8.jpg

IMG_3957600x450_zps61ea2fc9.jpg

Had (Duplicolor) Black sandable so,.... SHOT IT!!!! :o

Still need to get rid of those ghost trim lines, and add more trim around wells but

Panel lines are still there!! ;)

Thnx everyone for following my folly :lol:

Got a start on the chassis,..

IMG_3964600x450_zps81665040.jpg

Ballpoint pen springs,....

Had to grind off the tunnel on the chassis to let interior tub sit down,....

IMG_3967600x450_zps848b9a49.jpg

Will cut out 1/4" behind A arms to adjust frame as well as back pkg deck....and exhaust!!

Hi Bruce,

just wondering...what goal did you follow? Perhaps, i don't understand it...why you cut the roof and back? Why did you cut the frontend? Please explain it to me. I think, i have tomatoes on my eyes or i overread something?!? Dont know... :mellow:

[...]Still need to get rid of those ghost trim lines, and add more trim around wells but

Panel lines are still there!! [...]

Perhaps, i can help. had the same problem at my custom-Impala. Try to "paint" glue on the ghost trim lines, let the glue dry and sand it again. I hope, that will remove them. ;)
