SCCA Camaro Trans Am Set

The rear window could fit better than it does on my earlier built up.  I shaved a good bit off the front and rear edges of the three rear windows.  The windshield fits pretty well but they were also shaved around the edges to compensate for the paint.

 

I thought I'd get the wheels painted early on so they could be totally dry when I got around to installing them.  The wheel details are molded on the soft side where the centers meet the rim making masking tough.  The chrome is very weak too, not only poor coverage but it wipes right off even with the most careful handling.  So I brush painted them.  It took four kits and all sixteen wheels to get twelve acceptable rims due to the bubbles in and poor coverage of the chrome.

For a detailed explanation of how I did the painting, check this link out:

After reviewing the previous built up I recalled the hood/fenders and front fascia didn't have a positive fit to each other.  And the fascia is supposed to be cemented to the chassis with the hood & fenders setting on top and removable.  To remedy this I installed magnets and made steel brackets to force the fascia and hood seam into alignment without any cement.  I also added mounting bosses to the rear of the fender section and bored corresponding holes to the body.
