[glow=red,2,300]GOT THE SCOOP!!![/glow] I cut out the scoop from the Corvette Hood.  Then I traced the Scoop Shape on to the hood.  I cut along the lines with a Cut-Off Wheel in a Dremel Tool. Then I filed and sanded everything smooth & straight.  Glued the Corvette Scoop in place...  |

[glow=red,2,300]HEY!!! Where's the License Plate?[/glow] First I cut a 1 & 1/4" section from a Plastruct "L" Plastic Strip.  Then I cut a slot big enough to fit the section of "L" Strip in the underside of the boattail.  Next I glued the "L" Strip in to the slot.  Here is a photo of the License Plate Area after it has been rough sanded.  |

[glow=red,2,300]T-TOP ANYONE???[/glow] The Corvette Roof didn't line up with the Cord Windshield so I cut part of the Corvette Roof off!  I replaced the Corvette Roof Section with a section of the Cord Roof. I fit the Cord Section to the windshield and then the Corvette Section. When I got the fit right I held the sections together and applied some Zap-A-Gap and baking powder with the other hand. Then I shaped the roof sections with file boards and sandpaper.  |

[glow=red,2,300]Filling the Holes...[/glow] I traced the shape of these Boat Tail Holes on to that removed section of Corvette Roof. Then cut them out and glued them in place.  |

[glow=red,2,300]BRACE the JOINT!!![/glow] Almost broke the Cord Section off the roof, because I forgot to Brace the Joint!!!  I cut a thin strip of sheet plastic and glued it on the inside of the roof with Testors Red Label.  I used clamps to hold the strip in the shape of the roof, while it dried. This will make the Roof Joint Very Strong...  |
