Default Another Shell Valley build update

Buddy and I continue to work away on the body work. Both doors, the hood, and the deck lid needed major grinding, cutting, and reglassing to get them to fit properly. Hopefully, the newer Shell Valley kits don't have these issues. We also had issues with the inner panels not being properly aligned when they were bonded to the body. As an example, we had to section the inside of the drivers rear wheel well in order to get clearance for the inside of the driver's side rear tire. Again, this kit is almost 20 years old and one would hope that these types of quality/fitment issues have been addressed over the years. Anyway, for those of you who are interested, I've posted a few more pistures of the build to date in my gallery.
