Modifications made to the body include relocating the fuel filler from the driver's side to the passenger side. I removed the kit fuel filler by dragging a #11 Exacto knife blade around the circumference of the filler collar. A section of aluminum tubing was used to make a replacement collar. The spot for the filler was drilled out on the right rear fender and the fuel filler glued in place.

The exhaust openings were relocated further back on the rocker panels to just below the B-pillars. The sections removed to make space for the exhaust openings were used to fill the space where the openings were originally molded to the rocker panels. Styrene strip was used to fill the gaps. I'll use sheet styrene to replicate the blanking plates used to cap off the spot where the exhaust openings were originally molded.

Finally found a use for the punch set that I've had in the hobby-related toolbox for forever and a day. I used disks punched from sheet plastic to fill the original fuel filler location on the SVG Camaro. It will take minimal body filler now to hide any remaining defects in that area.

Cool build! Have this kit as well and noticed there is no windscreen wiper or mudflaps in it. How will you be handling that?

@Tim- I'll be using the rain package parts from Salvinos Toyota Camry kit as it has the windshield wiper and splash guard flaps.
