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.

Another model I got with my gift card this past Christmas. I saw a few of these on eBay and decided I wanted one for the collection. It's not a bad kit as far as detail, however, assembly was kinda hard. The windshield plastic was a little too wide for the frame. I actually ended up trimming some of it off. The interior is not a tub and the doors attach to the body interior. It's tricky getting the interior in and getting the doors in the correct position. Getting the dash to fit right with the doors and all was a nightmare. Getting the chassis to fit right was also a nightmare. Lots of repositioning and using a knife to pull the body apart to adjust the ride height. To start the front was higher than the rear and it had the Carolina squat look. It took forever to get it to go in the right spot. SAM_1957 by Eric Lucas, on Flickr SAM_1958 by Eric Lucas, on Flickr SAM_1959 by Eric Lucas, on Flickr

I did one of these a few years ago, but I ended up breaking the grill and botching some of the paint job. Since then I have wanted to get another, but I really didn't like the prices they are going for. I ended up getting a gift card from my mom for Christmas and decided to get this kit and another. It's a really nice kit. The only real issue I had was fitting the chassis to the body. On the first kit I made it with an opening hood to show off the engine, but this time around I didn't have access to the tools and decided not to do that.

Looks great. Back around 2006-2007 I found one exactly like this one in Myrtle for $20,000. Wish I had the money to buy it at the time.

Nice, the first model car I ever tried doing as an adult. Same color too.

Beautiful. Excellent color choice.
