GAPS!I have 2 gaps in the Underside and it hangs down too low...  I filled the gaps with plastic strip and glued them in place. I marked a starting point where I will cut off some of the low area...  I cut the extra underside plastic away. Here is the final shape!  More Coming...

TOO WIDE!After test fitting the headlights I found that the Camaro Fenders are still a too Wide in the Front...  I used a Micro-Mart Mini-Sanding Disk to remove a little from the Fenders. You can also use this Sanding Disk to Blend the Removed Area back into the Fenders.  Here is the front end after Shaping and Sanding the Front Fenders.  More Coming...

SHARP NOSE!The lines of the Camaro Nose are very Sharp and Straight. I'm going to see if I can Smooth out those lines to blend in a little better.  I used the Mini-Sanding Disk and Sanding Boards to get the right shape on the Nose. Then I went ahead and Sanded the rest of the body. Now you can see the low spots that need more putty. Notice the Circle Shapes on the roof, where I sanded. The original windows were glued in with Too Much Glue, and this is what happened!  More Coming...

MORE MUD!I applied Squadron Putty over the Rough or Low Spots.  This Raised Area , behind the door, is an important 57 detail that I want to keep. I built up putty on the Fenders so the Raised Area blends in better.  More Coming...

SWEET TUNES With BABY MOONS!While working on the Interior I realized I had No Music. So I decided to make Speakers from Moon Hubcaps! I measured and traced 2 circles on the Interior and then cut them out.  Here is one of the New Speakers in place. It will be painted with flat black later.  I found this Instrument Panel in an AMT 57 Chevy, should be just right for the Cam Air. I applied a Black Wash to enhance the Gauge Faces.  More Coming...
