Thanks, guys! The interior is originally a six piece deal. I turned it into a 13 piece job! LoL

After filling major gaps with styrene, then Baking Soda, tried some VMS Sand and Ballast Freeze to the soda and let it set up overnight. This morning, after wet sanding the body, filled the remaining contours, sink marks, vents and wheel well indents in with putty. Also fashioned a fin for the rear spoilers. Won't put them on till after sanding and shaping the body.

Disclaimer: DO NOT USE VMS Sand and Ballest Freeze with Baking Soda! It will not set up hard enough for body putty application. Don't ask me how I know, but will have to start over on the front clip. That is all. 
PS. Nice Primage Bucky.

Bummer, Bruce! Lesson learned, eh? What is VMS? I never had heard of it.

No harm, no fowl, experiment failure. Go with what you know, right. The VMS makes binders and fillers for various Dioramas. Used it to set sand and gravel on my last one. Doesn't work in this application. Already have another coat of putty on and will let it set up over night.

Most my body parts are rough in. Just have to make rear spoiler adjustment bars and a few tweaks. Almost ready for first coat of primer to see where all my mistakes are.

Thanks fellas. We here at OZ's Workshop are building and designing the body to got 300 MPH Plus. The 383 power plant can possibly get us up to 250 MPH. We'll see how the money holds out and Sponsor contributions. We may be able to add twin Turbos and get this baby up to her full potential. It depends on how many Lightening Holes we can put in the wheels.
