1970 Coronet Super Bee W.I.P. (Update 5/26)

So after the disaster that was the Porsche 911 (see topic "Conceding Defeat") I decided on a muscle car build.This is a repop by MPC that was recently released in its origional box art however on close inspection theres a few areas where the mold shows its age. However: some of the nicer aspects of this repop are individually bagged chrome/clear parts, the latter being wrapped in a foam padding to prevent scratches. The kit also includes a MPC bumper sticker and a miniature version of the box you cut out and fold up. But i digress . On to the WIP....

So i started out with a lil body work. The front pan is a seperate piece that butt joins to the body and the fit was mediochre at best. so I welded it to the body with a ton of superglue and built up some fills with Bondo and styrene to re-enforce the joint. After a few passes with sandpaper i shot a quick coat of Plastikote primer to see how everything was shaping up.

There were some rough spots on the fenders and around the hood so i started in on massaging those out as well as 2 small divots in the trunk lid. I dont get to a PC that often anymore so ill keep up text updates as often as possible from my Iphone and pictures when i can. Lots more to come on this!
