I just started this yesterday.It was my first model.It fell and broke off the wing and mirrors.I decided to use it now as a project.I'm using bondo on the door handles,rear bumper,mirrors,and a spot that broke while taking the rear window out.I'm going to make a two-tone paint job.The hood is going to be flat black.I'm making the top competition orange and the bottom flat black(I'm just using the colors I have lying around).It should look pretty good.I already did the hood.I gave it one coat and it was rough(I used 180).Then, I sanded it down with 320 and gave it another coat. It was actually very smooth.Here's some pics.

Looks like a good project to start with. Try sanding with higher grits, e.g. 400, 800, 1000, etc. It'll make it a lot smoother.

Thanks for the feedback.I got it fit to the chassis last night.I've been working on the body for a couple of days.I finally got the bodywork done.I decided to try to paint it today,but when I got 1/3 done,I ran out of flat black.The pics are not with complete body components.
