I built this kit when it was first reissued with the new tooling,it goes together quite well,and when GEORGE BARRIS himself in person tells you that you did an excellent job and wants a picture of your model,you know you did a great job,he also told me that i was the only modeler that after all these years correctly reproduced the orange anodized aluminum panels on the sides of the bed,it was done bare metal foil,clear orange paint and dull coat,he also autographed the box,and gave me his gold trimmed personal business card before passing on to custom car heaven,I'll never forget it
