Perfection all the way around.

Perfection! Especially like the interior.
-
Hey gents, thanks for all the encouraging comments. I'm already thinking to start another one. I'm a glutton for punishment.

Lots of tolerance issues with parts fit in this kit. Finished up some minor trim stuff and calling it done. Will post in Under Glass.
-
It took a lot of cutting and filing, but finally got the front grill/bumper to fit reasonably well. Not perfect though.
-
Thanks for the tip on the grill. I tried sanding a windshield on another ki, but ended up causing a Crack, so I'll leave as is.
-
Very nice job. I can't wait to see the finished car.

One of the door handles mysteriously disappeared from my workbench overnight. I suspect the cat ๐ I fabricated one from the triple carb gas line assembly that Was not used. Looks ok, I guess.

After much consternation, a whole lot of shaking and a little swearing, I foiled the window chrome trim. As you can see below, the windshield on this kit does not fit quite right, but leaving as-is because I am not adept at reshaping the plastic.

A little more progress If you are building this kit, beware of the sequence of directions. Fo example, put the muffler pipes on before putting on the frame. I did not and had difficulty installing the pipes beneath the frame. Also, the wheels that use the beauty rings and moons do not work. So I went with the cragerlike custom wheels.

They were clear with the dot pattern, but shading was not evident until I put them on.

Yes and surprisingly goes with my interior color scheme.
