IHSS

All the TA's came with silver painted rims and chrome was optional. Base TA's with the flat hood had 16"s and Firehawk and WS6 cars all came with 17's. So its entirely up to you which you like better. I had a 2000 SS I ordered new and left the chrome option off. I thought the 4th gen F-bodies look better without the chrome wheels but its up to you niether is more correct than the other.

OkI just checked mine out. It is the last issue fo it. Theres no skill level on it and it has a 1999 copyright date. I had assumed it was the newer one becase the guy I got it from had 4 or 5 five of them and mostly new kits at his table. So its still a question whether new one has the resin hood or not.

I'm pretty sure the kit I got is the new release but I'm not positive. It does have the resin hood. Does any one know how to tell by the box numbers or if there is a date on there somwhere? I'm at work now but can check when i get home.

The kit I got has a resin hood with the intake holes in the side.

I didn't notice what type the rear tires are but they are one piece black vinyl.

I just picked one up on sunday. It looks like an awsome kit. Unfortunatly it was missing the front tires, and the chrome tree was broken right through the chassis and the front half of the chassis is missing. Got it at the swap meet so i can't bring it back. Oh well time to get another 32 and figure out what type of hotrod to make out of it.
