AMT Smokey and The Bandit 77 Trans Am

[FLHCAHZ]

Hello All.  On the bench this time is the AMT Smokey and The Bandit Trans Am.  I'll get some pics up soon.  I had all of the spoiler and ground effects on the body, and the front left wheel well ground effect (spoiler or what ever ya call it) popped off and is gone forever.  I set sand over a trash bin, I know it landed in there, but no luck in finding it. As to today was trash pick up, I'm certain its gone for good.  I'll have to get one from eBay or something.  Bummer

Quick update.  A forum member has the part I need. I am very grateful! Some work being done on the interior    After looking at these pics, I realize that I should have sanded the seams where the seat backs attach.  I may take it back apart.

I would not worry about it too much. High back seats under a low roof line would require just the right viewing angle. However, if it one of those things that will bug you every time you look at the finished model, then take care of it now.

Thanks for your input Bill.  I plan on displaying this model with out the t-tops, so I think I'll fill them.  Any suggestions on what to use to fill the seams with?

If you are precise and careful with your application, superglue will work to fill a small gap.
