I would highly recommend this kit to a first-timer or to a seasoned builder. This is a 4n1 kit. You can build it as a woody, stock or custom or a pickup, stock or custom. Of course, you could build anything in between. This model is illustrates the old adage – instructions are really just suggestions. This model could be a very simple straight-forward build or fully blown out to be anything in your imagination. It even has a bonus Huffy bicycle. The fenders and frame are one solid part and extremely well done. The upper woody body is also one piece. Very thoughtful, and would be helpful to a novice builder. Fit is good. Comes with two complete engines (200 ci flat 4cylinder or 239 flathead V8). Vintage spoked wheels or mags. Thin original tires or fat Goodyears for a custom job. I only used 53 parts to build the entire pickup. The entire woody upper was left over. Neat. However, fair warning – the front end is VERY delicate. Make sure that the wheels fit on the axles prior to mounting the suspension. If not, the least amount of pressure will snap either one or both of the front wheels.

I got this kit as part of a bulk buy and it wasn't one I was buying the kits for but after seeing it I decided it would be a cool and fun build. It is pretty good quality and I had no trouble building it. I used some of my wood painting tricks and I think I got the paneling fairly accurate. I did a lot of detailing inside and out and it must have worked because it has won awards at model contests. I learned that in that time frame Ford actually owned a large forest to get the materials they needed to build their cars.

The only automobile anyone will ever need Henry Ford. There are almost 2 complete models here. I intend to build @ least 3 of the tour different versions beginning with a black pickup nearly finished I am unable to upload but this is a NICE KIT
