Big time on the early releases of the '55 but they were corrected for the '57 and all subsequent releases of the '55. If you compare the cab you have with the '57 cab in my pic below, you'll easily see how the sill of the side windows is much higher in the original kits. Might want to check the fit of the windshield also. Poor fit in some of the kits but I don't remember having a problem with the original release I built when it first came out. I did a bunch of work to make the one fit well in the '57 I'm currently building. 1

TarheelRick Posted January 5, 2024 Posted January 5, 2024 "The song is now stuck in my head", I can't unsee it either. What would be the fix, lowering the front or raising the rear?

All the newer kits have the corrected cab.
maxwell48098 Posted January 5, 2024 Posted January 5, 2024 Wouldn't it be cool if AMT reissued the 1957 Cameo, or took the street rod '55 Chevy step side and did a stock version step side as a '57. Just something to think about that shouldn't be that hard. A.J.
