Waste of money and time!
Don't waste your time or money. I bought this kit as a quick build. No such luck iv been working on it for a year now.
Instructions are utterly horrible
Many pieces need to be reinforced or replaced due to either being to thin or inaccurate fitting.
Flash galore, tooling shows massive wear( why release garbage?! Fix the tooling first!.
Nothing fits together like it should i ended up going with a custom look, molding the front and rear bumpers too the body and adding lots of putty.
All in all this kit is trash not even good for parts in my books.
Should've bought the Revell Model
I originally bought this kit as I wanted a 57 Chevy hotrod in my model collection. This kit may work if you're looking to build a box stock model. I wanted to put custom V-8 with headers in it but there wasn't enough room. Also, the engine that comes with it is just a basic 283 with dual carbs. There's not even an option for the mechanical fuel injection. There's also waaaay to much flash. I constantly had to trim parts to make them fit as well as sand the chrome pieces to get them to stay in place. I was rather disappointed with this kit as I couldn't really build the model I wanted using it. Most of the time AMT was good about offering other options for the engine as well as tire and wheel combos. This kit is only good if you're looking at building the model on the box. Which most of aren't we want options.
Be ready to work
I bought this kit awhile ago for a weekend project - boy was I wrong. First the flash was heavy just about everywhere. I had 2 sink holes that needed to be filled and sanded. The detail was good but not as crisp as I would have liked. The instructions were terrible and mine had a smudge the made some steps unreadable. I had trouble with the rear axle to the point that I just used one from my spare parts box. What started out as a weekend project turned into 5 months and a whole lot of sanding. I painted it silver to hide the imperfections and did the interior in black. I would only recommend this kit to advanced builders or look for a better kit.
