Drop dead gorgeous build Bill. It's all there, paint, details....hell everything!! Glad you dropped the stance some and you're right. For some reason Revell auto kits always seem to build up a smidgen too high in stance. 

Thanks Joe! Revell's kits suffer from what I call "stacking" when it comes to their construction. They're still using a platform for the interior instead of having the interior built from the flip side of the chassis floor.......just like an actual car. Throw in the sometimes too thick glass and that's a sure fire result of the too high stance.  That's one thing I like about AMT's newer tool kits as they build up without that platform like interior.

I knew the 'Vette would suffer from this if I built it like before, so that was a MUST that the suspension be lowered just a tad.

I hear ya Bill. Since I ventured over to the auto side I find that the more we build, the more we seem to find (and work around) all the different kit manufacturers "quirks" to have a better outcome.
