This weekend I worked a bit more on the car, this time on the rear section of the hood, shaving the previously glued bits of foam. Its not completely finished, but its nearly there. While working on the hood, I noticed some parts of the car were deforming too much when some force was applied to it, as in the centre section of the hood, to solve that I glued some more bits of foam underneath the car to strengthen such parts. Still, I guess the next step will be reinforce the all structure of the car with steel tube, so that when I apply body filler over the foam, it wont crack due to the foam deformation when applying force to sand down the filler. Sorry about the bad quality of the pictures, but only had the phone at hand.
