This is a typical Tom Daniels Kit, simple, quick and unique. Even with painting you can complete this kit in an afternoon. I found minimal flash on only 3 pieces. This kit does not lend itself to customization but it will be a welcome addition to your collection of customs. Beginners will be able to complete this without difficulty.

I remember building this model when I was a kid. I won't tell you how long ago that was, but I only paid $2 for the kit! I was glad that they kept the original box art and instructions because I found s repackaged Boot Hill Express at a local hobby shop and the new instructions were difficult to follow and were full of errors. This kit was very fun to build as the instructions were very clear. The parts had very little flash, which was surprising for a kit of this age. My only problems were I had to clamp the engine hafts together as they were slightly warped, and I had to tape the body to the chassis to get it to fit tight. My only change I made was to use Bare Metal foil for the joints on the floor on the rear. This was an excellent kit and a good project for a beginner. I hope to see more of these kits from my childhood in the future.

Being designed as a kit and not a model based on a real show car allows for a very clever design and layout of the parts. Mold lines on are hidden, suspension is simplified, assembly is easy. This kit looks very good with little to no modification or clean up work. Chrome parts seem extra bight and sprue attachment points are mostly hidden. Box art and instructions have a retro look. The ease of assembly and simplified aspects of the this model made it a joy to build. The rear wheels are plastic and have 2 halves. I had to spin the finished wheels with a drill on sand paper to remove/hide where the halves meet. For some reason I was expecting very soft rubber tires. Fun project. I would recommend Tom Daniel's kits for a model party where attendees have different skill levels.
