[glow=red,2,300]ENGINE COVER...[/glow] I cut sheet plastic to surround the Engine, kind of like the Testarossa Engine Area.  Here it is in place...  I also filled in the underside of the front Fender Areas.  |

[glow=red,2,300]ADDING THE DASH!!![/glow] I decided to use the dashboard from Monogram's 12th scale Testarossa.  I trimmed the top edge to match the Cord Body and then cut the sides down to fit. I also had to cut off the Waterfall Console.  Here is the Dash in place...  |

[glow=red,2,300]FILLIN' IN THE FENDERS...[/glow] The Cord Fender Openings are too big for the Modern Corvette Tires, so I decided to reduce the wheel well sizes I added a filler piece to the Rear Fenders, it's about 1/4" wide, and then I trimmed the underside of the Fenders as shown.  I cut out a filler piece of sheet plastic about 1/8" wide for the Front Fenders.  Side View...  |

[glow=red,2,300]READY FOR PAINT!!![/glow] The Roof Trim goes from the Cord Windshield to the Corvette Tail. It was made with half-round plastic strip, with the ends filed to points, and then glued in place.  Mirrors are from the Corvette Kit.  I added a strip of plastic along the front edge of the Rear Fenders to bring the edge down to the bottom of the body.  With a little more putty and sanding I finally have the Rear Fenders Finished!  Finished up these last few bits of body work and now it's Time For PAINT!!!  |
