Since the DDA kits came out I've been wanting to pick this one up. I'm not one to be into 4-door cars, but this one has kinda grown on me. Plus, it's a very notable car in automotive history; so I wanted it for the collection. The kit itself is very much like the Torana kit. It comes with a nice collector's box, tools, screws, rubber wires, and decals. The only downside in my mind is the lack of plated parts. The kit builds quite easily and has a really great instruction manual. A lot of the kit is snap-tite almost, but there's still quite a lot of gluing. Some super glue is also recommended for the wiring. The hood, like on all shaker hoods, has some fit issues and didn't want to be even on one side. Ended up having to glue it down. Also had a little trouble with the chin spoiler. It didn't want to sit on one side or the other. Ended up super gluing it down. One weird thing was the window slats being put inside the car. I ignored that and placed them on the outside. On a funny note, I accidentally tossed the wipers in the trash and had to dig one out. The other mysteriously appeared on my bathroom floor later that evening. Over all though, great kit.
