    Thanks so much. I just had to build it once again. Mike

    I finally finished this kit and has been nearly 40 years since I built it the first time and the kit is no easier today that back then. The fit of most parts is very bad and takes a lot of fitting and guesswork but in the end it is a pretty good looking model of a classic show car. Thanks , Mike

    After seeing this , if I build it , maybe no detail and build all body fuse together first. I don't know if that would help or work. Mike

    I hear you. Don't know if I will ever build mine as well, but we could !!

    I am impressed. It is hard to re-start a kit , but you have done a masterful job on a complicated build. I always loved the look of the J Car but the MK4 is my favorite. Thanks for sharing this. Mike

    The actual kit was fine but with all the extra engine and detail options and no instructions , it was a challenge. Thanks , Mike

    Thanks very much Echo. It was fun to get completed but not as easy a one would think. It was like taking a single kit and throwing in 3 or for other kits parts and then no instructions on what parts belonged to what kit. Here is a little more about it. Thanks , Mike

    Thanks Gary and this is how , I too , remember them. Mike

    I didn't want to clog up the paint job with decals. Thanks , Mike

    I hear you. That was what I ran into and ACME does not respond to emails. I have a gross of leftover parts and will likely try to sell on EBAY. Thanks , Mike

    It was much more difficult than I had planned on. Thanks , Mike

    Thanks so much Gary. It was a bear as I had no instructions and no pictures plus the kit had many other parts and all the parts for blown Hemi. So had to figure it all out by downloaded pictures from the net. Thanks , Mike

    I just finished this about two weeks ago and really liked the quality of the metal kit. Used Tamiya paints and Indycals decals and all came together well. Mike

    I found this guy on the bay and couldn't pass it up. I love the Fiats. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qLaMnUIdYI&t=6s Thanks for taking a look and let me know if you have any tips on this guy. Thanks , Mike
  23. Fifer
    Thanks for the tip. I will see what I need to do when I get there. Thanks , Mike

    Made some more progress on the engine and got the wheels chrome stripped off and painted black as well as the tires sanded. Also several misc. parts painted. Thanks , Mike
  25. Fifer
    Well , I have gotten this far and it has not been easy. A lot of flash on most parts and instruction flaws on the A arm brackets, but that said , I am having fun and a great break from the model trains. Mike
