Hood problems

The camaro is going to be difficult! The hood is not cooperating and I have to change it somewhat. The cowl grille is a mess and though I nearly had it saved I am afraid I have been forced to fill it in. I think I will add a hood scoop and make it a little more racy than I intended.

It is entirely possible that a cowl grille is available from a photo etched part, but I wanted to show beginning modelers what was possible to do with an old model without spending a bazillion dollars on it. So, patch the hood up it is... A replacement hood may be available from the aftermarket suppliers as well, but again this is a project with a budget!

Another coat of body putty was added to the tail light area and the motor was cleaned up and primered. I still need to dig through the parts boxes and pick out an induction set up for the engine. I have not decided on blown, injected or carburatered yet.

I added a few more links in the modeler's resources area yesterday. Links to Revell, Tower Hobbies and to Mega hobby. Good sources of parts and supplies, if like me, you have no local hobby shop. Hobby Lobby is also a great source for items to build with as well as kits.
