Looking at the pics of the finished build I already have a few minor gripes: the mirrors are inaccurate( there should be a slight bevel on the end of the mirror housings) and the pedals look a lil big. But other than that this kit is gonna blow the MPC kits out of the water!

Would be even better if they can tool up some proper Shelby wheels as well.

I'm sorry but that box art is atrocious! Did you guys use AI for that or phone it in?

Not many shops left around here anymore, I don't think there's any left inside city limits. But there's Des Plaines hobbies in Des Plaines, Walts Hobbies in Crestwood, Berwyn Toys and Trains in Berwyn. Walts is my go to shop, they are well stocked on kits and paints, and they have a big selection of trains and rc stuff too.

Hopefully they'll include the blue and silver stripes on the decal sheet.

I wish AMT would do this truck!

I think the open road camper Chevy van would be another cloning project that would sell great.

I'll give that a try, I tried clear coating the glass after the smoke dried but it didn't make a difference.

Tamiya smoke used to be good but the last few cans I bought weren't so good, it was turning foggy when it dried.

The stepside bed was never updated, the original Sodbuster release had the same bed that's shown on the test shot.

I hope the headlight area is one of the items being revised, because they're way off. headlights shouldn't protrude out like they do, plus they look a lil undersized too.

Looks great! what paint did you use on the wheels?

The frame, interior and sleeper are the same, hoods and grilles are different. The cabs are slightly different, the only difference is where the fenders of the hood flow into the cab sides.

2004 Pontiac GTO's had the LS1 rated at 350 hp. '05 & '06 GTO's had the LS2 rated at 400 hp.
