Which pack are refering to? There was a Body kit and 2 different chassis. They were all pretty good.

The parts pack body is similar to the Revell Tweedy Pie body (and later variants) with typical early 60s Revell quality. From memory, you get the choice of a turtle deck or pick up box, a belly pan, a radiator shell and little else.

Don gets an A+ for his memory. The "T" bucket was exactly as he described. It was designed strictly as a body kit only. It sold for .89 while 1/25 kits were selling for $2.00. In order to build a complete model, you needed to purchase a frame pack ( two to choose from ) an engine pack ( about 8 to shoose from ) and a wheel and tire pack ( about 6 to choose from ). As you can see the end result was more costly than a normal kit but the detail you ended up with was far superior to any full sized kit.With the exception of the non-chrome Triumph motorcycle and the decal sheet, all parts packs sold for .89. The motorcycle and the decal sheet were .69.
