Well engineered
By: Tex Jester
Very nice kit! Almost ZERO flash, lines crisp and clean, mold lines on the body all but nonexistent. Fitment is exact, no issues. Windows are relatively thin, closer to scale but not brittle, and easy to install - test fit first to see where to put glue.
Door handles are awesome. Chrome bumpers and grill fit effortlessly. Decals are easy to work with, but need to soak a couple minutes if your water is cold.
3 in 1, great details. I chose a combination of custom and stock; a drag option is available, including a roll bar set. Custom is lowered some 3-4 scale inches. I didn't use the wheels included; this model needs Cragar mags, so I used Pegasus wheels.
There's 2 exhaust systems, 3 wheel sets, a couple of air cleaners - I noticed I had 2 of the chrome cleaners. 3 spring heights in the rear; two heights for the front. 2 sets of front and rear bumpers. And numerous other parts for the Parts Box.
A tip - the wheels are installed with metal pins - be sure and mount the inner wheels with the pins, THEN install the outer wheels and tires, or you'll never get the wheels on tight.
Overall, a well engineered kit, with what looks like new molds. Any issues I had was of my own making; the kit itself gave me none. This is a kit to pick up!
A very well done kit.

This is an excellent kit with lots of extra parts and very little clean-up needed to start. Parts fit was excellent and there is lots of molded in detail. The instructions were easy to follow and well done. The decals look great with many custom options. This one was a joy to build and comes highly recommended from me!
Nicely detailed kit

Nicely detailed kit but be careful with the tiny bits and bobs. No fitment issues except the fact that the glass installation is a bit tricky. Lots of extra parts and lots of customizing possibilities. As always, have fun!
