This is a really nice kit, choice of 2 builds based around level of 'rodding' desired. No real issues anywhere, all good parts fits. As it is not an actual historical rod replica it gives the modeler some license for color choice which is an option I really like. Note in one pic the cars owner is shown wearing a tailor made jacket in the same color as the car body!

"...it gives the modeler some license for color choice....."
It's a street rod so anything's acceptable. 😎 😎 It reminds me of my AFX slot car - I have one that's "MIB."
Q: No side glass at all? Rolled down door windows are fine, but the wagon part should have fixed glass, no?
- I like that the tailgate folds down, nice accessories. 😎

@chris thanks Chris, yes no clear glass supplied for the rear windows. None shown on the box art so I've assumed an example of 'rodders license'? What they have supplied are solid panels to cover the windows from inside, they suggest paint in 'wood' as we can see. What I thought of afterwards (of course!) was painting them body color and sticking on speedshop decals I have left over from other kits.
Once again I really appreciate your feedback Chris, thanks.

@michaeldetorrice thanks Mike, I just looked at the pics again after your response. Only wish I had the skills to wire an engine. I'm not a mechanic so I don't intuitively know where wires go as well.

I am like you, Geoff. I wouldn't automatically or intuitively know how to wire the engine. I can only hope if I did it wrong, other people wouldn't be likely to know where I erred either, lol !
