A World of Possibilities
This was my first build in over 25 years. It's an excellent kit with a ton of parts. I modelled it as more of a street machine. I had to deal with some flash but the overall details were great. Definitely not a kit for beginners. I'm going to get another to detail more. I really can't think of anything I didn't like about the kit.The different possibilities in building and detailing this kit are endless.
what a gas!!!
awesome kit, not much flash, few mold lines to address, not alot of parts but still a good kit, i am transforming mine to a true gasser, front end up high,plug wires and hoses, changed out tje wide tire for some old school fat whitewalls, ill post pics when complete, i do recommend this kit
A bit of a challenge, not for beginners

Getting the hood lined up and swinging correctly took a bit of work but I like a little bit of a challenge sometimes. Other than that it's a good kit, has lots of potential if you like adding your own detail. Wider rear tires would be nice
Good not great
Had to do a lot of trimming and sanding to get the hood to sit correctly and still flip as it should but not impossible. I like how much of the engine is visible with the hood flipped. Motivation to do some extra detail.
Great build

Great kit, simple and straight forward. Parts trees are not over stuffed and very little flash. Car went together easy and no fit problems. I highly recommend this as a fun and stress free build.
Good Buy
Awesome model. Not overly complicated, minimal flash and parts fit well. Directions, for the most part, are clear and accurate. When completed, it is truly a taste of the 50's.
Flip nose gasser
Easy build, very little to no flash,only item I deleted was the exhaust system, I wanted a full gasser look. Love this kit and I know you will too. This thing practically built itself.
Fun Kit!
I really enjoyed building this kit. I found the directions easy enough to follow and everything just went together well.The end result is a pretty nice Gasser to add to my collection.
Fun fun fun
