Bill, I like this kit a lot. It goes together very nice!
Some points to take a closer look:
In the manual, the bumpers should be mounted at last, after interior and undercarriage is mounted in. I took another way.
- before painting I mounted front and rear bumper. To fit perfect, I had to sand the edges so that the parts fit neatly.
- on the rear bumper I needed some putty
- the transition from the bumper to the body was not smooth, I had to grind it.
- Before painting I checked the bonnet. She was a little bit wider and deformed.

Of course, as I mounted the bumpers first, to slip in the undercarriage is a little bit tricky on the back. There it is to go first in place, very carefully.

On my body I sanded the engine hood a little narrower to get it fit after the paint is on the body. Without paint there is really little space between the fenders and the hood.
Also I needed putty on the rear bumper to the quarter panels.
