bbowser Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 That's a real beauty! The interior detailing is spot-on. How was the kit to build? I've got one in the stash that will rise to the top at some point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got one in the stash that will rise to the top at some point The kit looks good but the fittings of the pieces are pretty bad nothing fits right in the way as it should be. Attention to the rear window that does not fit with the rear seat. I recommend pre-assembling all parts before painting because everything needs adjustments.

That's why I put the badge "EZ 4 ME". To remind me that it was the hardest model I ever build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a '57 Chevy convertible with that dimmer setup; it was spotty in operation...a reflection from a bright object would dim the headlights.
