Well Alan? Details, man, details???

Okay...here is my opinion and some details.......
The gray on gray color works quite well with this design...
the color-coordinated gray leather seating along with the detailed dash is exceptional. Fit and finish is overall "good,' but there are some flaws....the suspension is very soft and two of the tires are loose. The windshield wipers move, much like the '41 Chevy. The antenna mounted on the center of the windshield is easily placed in its proper 'up' positon. The hood opens from the passenger side, and reveals a completely wired and plumbed Buick Fireball 8. The trunk is also well done with a removable spare tire. I am probably leaving something out...and I may send the one I received back for a replacement due to the wheels. Certainly a 5 star effort by DM.

Alan, the hood actually opens from either side. Give it a try.
