It's not bad Chris. Body is already primed, some parts like engine is painted. Some optional parts. I didn't like that the windows on the doors were riveted in place so I drilled out the rivets so I could paint better without having to mask. The frame is metal and painted a gloss black. The front axle was already mounted as were the front tires. The steering works. Rear end was mounted already also. Drivers seat already has fabric seat belts applied. Choice of engines with different headers blowers and scoops. Lots of small parts that are bagged and numbered. Front wheels shown on box are not in the kit but rather a nice set of 5 spokes which I like better anyway. A year or so ago I bought the Fiat drag car kit but never got it assembled. No instructions of any kind and ended up using parts to modify a die cast Cobra into a drag car.
