Stratos Build

The mold lines are minor, but it's important to blend the panel seamlessly with the adjacent panel to achieve a smooth, uniform appearance.
 

This item has minimal flaws, with only the slightest of blemishes. 

This is a huge molding issue. On the underside is the hood brace. 

The brace shown in the image will require some additional work. The ejection pins will need to be filled and smoothed to achieve a more polished and refined appearance. 

More ejection points to fill. The headliner should be thicker as well. The diagonal lines are actually stitching. 

More ejection pin points to fill ? 

The louver is too thick but needs to be cleaned up anyway. The supports also need to be thinned. From reference photos they look like rods. 

This is the bad side. 

Body laid out without doors 

 

I know that it looks minor but I expected better molding at this price point. 

 

 

I needed to test fit. It is beautiful. Lots of Sanding to do. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The roof experienced a significant depression, which appears to have been caused by additional thickness on the underside. As the plastic cooled, it shrank slightly more than the rest of the roof, resulting in the uneven surface.. 

 

 

I HATE THIS METALIC PLASTIC.  

Filling ejection pins. So many.

Thank you Mr Surfacer 500 

 

 

 

 

And yes I have decided to open the trunk. This will be the inside.

This is probably from the plastic cooling at different times 123124

Fill. Sanding is next. 123124 

Cut off the trunk lid. Looks great. The spoiler needs some polystyrene sheet to make it fit without filler. 010125 

Fitment is much better 010125 

Looking really good. 010125
