Nice subject car. Those old kits and their flat pack bodies make an interesting build. Do you do anything special to enhance or strengthen the bond?

Yes very challenging to get things squared up!!
I "spot glue" with hot glue 3 or 4 points along the side body, and continue that process all around the car (hood and trunk too).
The hot glue "first bond" flexibility to move and bend things really helps.
Once I got it squared away I epoxied it solid.

WOW Like The Eldorado
It was a outstanding car back in the day, it had the higher horse power engine.
I have a 1957 Caddie 2 door seating in my garage right now, it's so darn big and long it almost doesn't fit.
One other thing it was hot pink from the factory it's a nasty green color now.
Can't wait to see yours done.
