Very nice! A lot of folks are scared of that kit. Can you describe shortcomings / challenges and how you got past them? 

Main issues are fit problems but it's an old kit, had trouble mounting dash, windshield, chassis a little warp, it has doors that can be opened but I didn't want to mess with that. The wheels I used were from an earlier sedan kit. Really not that bad the engine doesn't have much detail

I built this sometime back in the 70s, and if my memory serve me correctly, this is the first kit that cut a door open on, as I believe the kit included hinges for the rear door, but it was molded shut. Yours looks really nice.

Thanks yes you can cut open all the doors, and the interior panels already have hinges attached-I didn't want to mess with that so I cut off the hinges and glued the interior panels to the doors
