"A World of Possibilities"

full71monte (Virginia Beach VA)

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.

"Awesome kit"

Dave360cimopar70 (Ohio)

I remember this kit from back in the day awesome kit then and still today

"A bit of a challenge, not for beginners"

vbussie07

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"

no.1silverback (Mesa Az)

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.
