Fifer Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Hi guys, it has been a while since I started a kit but one day this one just jumped out at me. These kits were and ARE great older kits to build. The packing was great and the fit of parts is very good. This is where I am at so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fifer Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 I Have gotten more done and nearing the final stages. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fifer Posted August 12, 2020 Author Share Posted August 12, 2020 I finally Finished this. Lots of fitment issues with the windshield and small parts at the end. Wheels and tires were also problematic, but she is done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertw Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 Well done. I also enjoy building these classic era autos. They are big enough for fat fingers to work on and detailed enough to leave you very satisfied when you're finally done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
