Thank you Tom. Detail painting is probably my favorite part of the hobby. That, and completing a build.
The copywrite date on the build sheet for this issue is 2002. As far as I know, all the issues had the same Cragar wheels and Goodyear tires but other than that, everything else in this kit is either specific to the kit or oversimplified to the point where it probably wouldn't be very useful elsewhere. I don't think you missed out on much by passing on it.
