No problem, Lo!

My skills to fix it are better now I bought a few extra Monogram Grand Sport Corvettes for the good wheels (the '98 SS can use 'em too).

Dunno if you have ever had a Lindberg 1/20 Camaro SS, I can't remember which came first, the AMT or Lindberg, but I suspect it was Lindberg, and AMT copied it verbatim...as both models have the exact same problems w/the hood scoop. The AMT hood fit is lousy, has many sink marks from the underhood detail, and the leading edge of the scoop is far too thick.

Yeah, man, I knew the hoods on both were screwed - but because Lindberg had always botched the upper headlight line on the leading edge of its panel, it never occurred to me to compare the scoops! The fit is bad on my AMT kit as well, but it didn't have such a problem with ghosting - that may depend on how the plastic cooled from one injection of the mold to the next.

Didn't Lindberg also play with the mold halves of their G@@&Y#%& gatorback master to fudge up a set of BFG's? I bet AMT's Goodriches were also a me-too response, but at least they were freshly tooled. If they could be hogged out, they might prove useful for late Impala SS's, too - leastways, that's what Larry Greenberg was thinking.

I had a similar notion about Corvette 5-spokes. I was looking a little harder at AMT wheels, which had a more exaggerated bead to offset the too-small wheel diameter, but the Monogram wheels sound like a better idea in the end.

Sad thing is, my brother had a 97 SS T-top. Too bad he chopped it up.
The rims in that kit are crappy. They don't look close to the real thing.

I have that kit, let me know if you can't find it. Its not mint, but it hasn't been started. It has an extra set of clear parts and decals but i think its missing the e-brake. Only problem is I live in Australia...
