It would be very interessting to see, how you could build this kit today. I used to do that - rebuild my childhood mistakes 😉 Today I know, that there were a lot of kits which I've built in my childhood, where I see now, that I was to young to handle the issues. This C4 by MPC/AMT/ERTL is one candidate. The hood and wheels I'm still struggling with. They need some more attention.

Agreed! I never did get the hood to settle down right. I believe I have one of the same generation in my stash that I will get to have a second go at it.

I've build a hand full of the C4. It is always a struggle to get it fit properly at the front end. On one I cut off the pins for the hood hinge. The hood doesn't operate anymore but it closes well and the hight of the front end is deep enough. On the ZR1 I sanded a lot off away ot the air cleaner box. On one kit, I thinned out the inner hood around the area of some engine parts. I tried a lot and every kit was another solution. Mostly the problem is around the hood hinge. And then there is the problem: if you want to lower the chassis (practically the body gets lowered over the chassis), the hood gets hight at the hinge. If you fix the hood, then the distance of the wheel to the wheelhouse is to much.
