Another point is that in many cases side trim is often stainless steel and I think BMF gives a much more accurate "look" than the chrome plated parts. I'm not sure about the '58 Chevy, but the side trim on the '55 was stainless and the chromed parts just don't look quite right in the Revell kit.

I finally picked up a copy of this kit today....now I understand why everyone is so positive on the kit.
My instruction booklet had a major error in printing - entire sections were missing and others were printed twice. Has anyone else run into this? I'll call the 1-800 number on Monday so I'll be OK, but hope this is a one-off error! TIM

The wheels in this kit, and the up graded 37Ford coupe, the 56 Chevy, in my opinion are just way to large. Haven't the people at Revell been to any car shows or rod runs lately? Some of the st. rod guys are putting on 16's & 17's and other larger size wheels, but the ones in theses kits are just crazy large and most with out any reverse to them. Just my opinion.
