Hello everyone,
Working on a 2001 Monte Carlo, have an updated resin nose I would like to use. I have never done this, can you tell me about where to cut the body, what type of glue and any other helpful tips or advice?
Thanks so much |

First, you will want to make sure the hood fits the nose. This may require some sanding, but will want to be sure they meet up.
What I do next is lightly mark on the hood where the resin nose ends to get an idea where to cut the body. I usually eyeball it with a pencil and try to trace the edge of the nose on the body.
When I cut, I will cut a little less then I need from the body. After I cut, I'll sand the body and work the nose in place. Making sure there is no gap with the hood and looks good. I will then use masking tape to hold it in place and superglue the nose in place.
Hope this helps

Thank you,
This is a big help. I never thought of marking the hood, I was just trying to eyeball where to cut on the body and then work the hood after.
