as the convertable did not officially return untill 1983, i'm sure this model kit was based off the 82 concepts for another convertable I modified the face to make it look better with a svo looking headlamp bucket facelift

this will not always work for all kit parts but for some its does! I will try to dig up other examples and snap pictures, but for starters we will look at the standard kit lower bumper for the mpc svo foxbody mustang the example shows 3 bumpers all in a different stage so you can see the difference all the way completed, half way, and no material removed at all All you simple do is start a hole with a small drill bit or your pin vice, or you can waller a small hole to start with your exacto blade, from the backside of the part and very carefully twist the exacto blade to remove small amounts of material at a time once you start getting all the material off the center (ribs) you have to be very carefull not to break the ribs or slice thru them as they are very thin and fragile! this technique can be used for alot of grills as well that are usually chrome....... carefully remove small amounts of material from the backside untill you start to break thru and carefully remove excess slowly as you go and thin the backside of the parts Works great on some rims as well instead of painting and detailing with typical flat black paint you can achive more debth and realism having hhe ability to see thru your part and the color or blackness behind a part vs. blackwashing a part removed a molded in muffler on chassis here and ground down the pipe with a dremel i have and example pic somewhere of the hole filled in and floorpan replicated with styrene scrap will search for that image
