In Response To: Test fitting the chassis to the interior of the AMT '65 Barracuda and find it's nearly impossible to fit in. Anything I'm doing wrong? Wouldn't the chassis etc be a nice fit for '67,'68,'69 Barracudas ? *NM* ()

One of the first things I do is to enlarge ALL of the mounting holes. The fit is just a little to perfect so any paint in the holes will mess up the fit.

  - Thanks. I'll enlarge the mounting holes. I think the wheels are 13 inch. So I'll need some 14" . As for the engine......more
- This can be an issue with kits engineered in 3D - the fit is TOO good
  - FWIW, I was grokking the Coronet vs my original, and almost didin't get the new one apart - pretty close to a no-glue final assembly *NM*
