Although this is a nice kit, at times it was a bit challenging. What I found frustrating was the shock installation, the dash installation, body on chasis fit, pickup bed construction, radiator and cowl fit, bumper brackets and hood fit. Am I wrong? I'm an experienced modeler and really didn't expect any trouble with this kit, but was surprised to find multiple headaches as I went along. Many parts went smoothly, wheels, tires, engine, seats, glass and chrome bits. Finally got it all together, working very slowly, using some clamps where needed. Nice kit when built, but from the radiator thru the drive chain can be trickey. I found my self removing a portion of the driveshaft to get it all to fit nicely. Cool kit. Not for a beginner. Anyone share these issues?
