Excellent

Anyone else having trouble sending messages to other members? The site keeps crashing on me when trying to send a message to another member. Stays down for a bit, then pops back up later. Been like this for a day now. Can't send a message to the staff either. Crashes when doing that as well. Thought I'd try this work around. Everything else works fine.

That's the thing; they had a good reputation. The problem was too many people giving 5-stars for the kit looking good, but not detracting any for the service and time. I didn't see the reviews from the few other people that had the same problem as me until I looked thru all the reviews. They did a good job burying them.

So this thing was a pain even before I got it in the mail. First week went by, it wasn't sent out. Two weeks go by and nothing. "Hey, you sending it out?" No reply. The third week I said I was contacting ebay if it wasn't sent soon. It was in the mail a couple days later. No apology or anything. I get it and the bumpers are missing. Contact the seller again. "Sure we'll get those out ASAP." (Weird they replied quick to that one) After two weeks I contacted eBay. They were in the mail the next day. Needless to say the seller got one star. So the kit isn't bad for a printed one. The body and interior look great. Part of one bumper didn't fully print, but I was so frustrated I just went with it. So, kit problem one was it doesn't include suspension. I found a Chevelle chassis that fit it and used that . Reworking the wheel/tire combo a bit. The hood fit isn't great. It's curbside; so I just glued it shut. The rear bumper fit is a bit off. The bumper hangs a bit low. This is due to the recessed area for the tail lights. It hits the area where the bumper need to be attached. My last problem was the windows. Cutting out the plastic and getting it right was a challenge. I eventually got it right, then I put the interior tub in. It's heavy so I had to super glue it. Some how the glue bled over to the windows and fogged them. So, I had to make new ones. Luckily, they go on from the exterior. After a few tries I got them on. However, they are starting to bow a bit. At some point I'll go back and fix it, right now I'm just glad it's finished. It was such a pain I almost gave up on 3D prints. However, I did see a seller that includes everything with the print and I'm going to try another in the future. I saw a few I'd like to have. They're just pricey. Overall, it did come out looking nice for my collection.

Nice

Did the suspension come from the Chevelle donor? Trying to figure out what suspension to get for mine.

Beautiful

Very nice. I saw one of these not long ago at a local show.

I like that color

Excellent work

Beautiful. These are great kits. I did the convertible several years ago and won model of the year on another site.

Nice. I've only ever seen one. Someone in an apartment complex had a black one that was in really bad shape.

Looks good. I know what you mean about the engine. I did the same thing with mine as I ran into the same problem with one side not wanting to sit down. I didn't have any problems with the windshield; though I will agree painting the headlights/tail lights/ and windows sucked.

Very nice. I just ordered one, but it's been over a week and it hasn't even shipped yet.

Not this one. The Datsun kit I posted did though.
