thank you i had issues getting the body around the chassis which ended up knocking off the battery from wheel well arch were the instructions said it was to go 
i also had issues with the front and rear suspension i had to simplify it just to get most of it to fit together 
there is also 3 different exhaust setups the ones i used and  single pipe rear exhaust tips and the side pipes that you find on the shelby version 
there is also a custom set of split bumpers and a custom grille and a different set of rims as well as a different carb set up and optional windshield and optional hood scoop which the shelby version's hoods have
