Thanks guys. It does look like a dropped axle but I saw a finished example of this kit and it looked too high. Don't most kits sit too high in front ? : ) I will mock it up and see if I need to adjust the height.
Started this a couple days ago. Seems like an OK kit. To me the wheels and tires look under size but maybe when assembled they will look OK. Next is painting the roof and then the wood trim before the decals.
I like it. Captures the look pretty well. I had a 73 sport, white with the lazer stripe. I wonder if anyone will ever come out with a lazer stripe decal.
