Thanks Carl...

Thanks a lot guys...

Just finished this one a couple days ago. I think everyone agrees that it's a great kit to build and I really enjoyed the process. I built it as a custom so I used only the parts I wanted out of the 182 pieces supplied. There were some minor issues at final completion... the front bumper needs to be adjusted and fitted properly to look just right and the vent windows will simply pop out every time you do a test fit. Windows are not a great fit. A lot of bare metal foil to do and it's hard to maintain a straight line. I decided on using the supplied decals for the side spears and I'm happy I did... I think trying to do them in foil would have been very tough. Would have been nice if they supplied a red version spear in addition to the black or white. I used the black and it laid down well. You get 3 different rear spring sets...the custom ones result in a tail dragger and the competition ones gives you a tail up appearance ... I used the stock set for a level stance. I f you have never done a two-tone paint job this is the kit to try it on... the side spear is perfect to cover up any issues between the two colors. In the end it was a nice build especially because my very first real car was a white 1961 Chevy impala. Cheers DanL
