Having just receintly finished this one myself, I know what you went through with the kit itself.

Did you glue the fenders to the body prior to painting?

Great job!!!! was your frame warped? all of my kits of this type have warped frames and missing parts....the extra parts do not work either...

I know mine had it's problems. My frame was slightly warped. Some of the parts didn't fit well. When I put the body on the frame, the mounting locations made it sit higher on the drivers side than the passenger, so I had to break it apart and file/sand until it fit, then repair the paint. My glass from the sealed box and wrapped in plastic were so scratched up, I had to polish them out just to make them clear. On top of that, my windshield didn't fit due to the instrament hump on the dash, so the windshield had to be filed & sanded to the shape of the opening.

Like I said, nice work on one heck of a kit!

my kit was not that bad . i did paint it before gluing and that was my biggest mistake with that kit , lots of scraping the glue to fit

Great job on a very nice looking build .

Thanks for the head's up on the issues the kit has.

I have several of these originals still un-opened, and wasn't aware there were problems.
