OK. Here's a few of mine. They are both 1/25 scale plastic model kits. I've never been happy about the way the hood fits on the 4th gen.

I'm still curious on this one.

Yes and it was a tidius job. I used a dremmel tool to cut the scoops off, had to grind into the camaro hood, , used carbon paper to mark where the high spots were, then grind again, repeat carbon paper, then when it was close I used JB weld, then bondo primer, lots of sanding, . but after all said and done, it was worth it to me,


All in all a lot of carving, sanding and time.

The finished product really looks awesome. You did a great job on it. Did you take any pictures during the process?
