Just finished the truck yesterday. Had the same problem with the interior tub that others mentioned. After sanding the sink marks on the front of the tub, (against the firewall) it slipped right in. Also, the instructions state to install the windshield from the inside. I found it goes in easier from the outside.  I’ll most likely build another one a little different from the box art. When Joseph at Fireball comes out with a suspension conversion, that is... I’d like to get the 69 truck, but I haven’t seen any in a while.

The rear could sit up a bit higher, but this is the way it will stay.

Turned out great. I never thought about installing the windshield from the outside. I would not have thought it would work. I had to fit mine.

Its not the rear suspension, the problem with the kit is the way the bed attaches to rear of frame. You must prop  the rear of the bed  up  until the lines of cab continue a straight line to the lines of the bed. If built according to instructions, you will build the truck with a broken back. Notice the gap between cab and bed. Wide at top, narrow at bottom. Keep the gap equal, you'll solve the problem.

The stance looks real good.  I like the wheels.  Cab lights and color reminds me the truck I grew up in. This one is really cool. Good job! ??
