 Really Al you don’t like to have this? well lets be clear, if it was given to me, yes, i would take it... then sell it to get this...  or this...  and maybe even this...  i will state this. i will take any Plymouth over any Dodge counterpart. if we had to choose, make me a Plymouth guy!! (and yes, that last picture is a 55 Chevy. i did not put the wrong picture up there. also remember, i put pro street way in front of stock. i have no problem cutting up any car at any time!)) |

Got about 90% of the orange peal out but had to stay away from the edges. Not perfect but close enough 🙂

 got the interior installed as well the underbody chassis.  The only problem I had was installing the radiator wall with the radiator and shroud. The instructions say to glue it all together first then install it to the body. Wrong! It is impossible to get the shroud past the fan. I had to pry off the shroud. Hang it around the fan. Install the radiator wall with radiator then glue and slide the shroud onto the radiator. So if anyone of you are planning to put one together you’ve got a heads up. Otherwise it is an excellent kit. |

Otherwise it is an excellent kit. just like real cars. always a problem. see Ed, if you put an electric water pump on that big ol hemi, you wouldn't have to worry about a fan getting in the way. kidding, looks great!! paint came out great. gonna be a top notch build. |

Double-check the valance panel fit. too.
Buddy of mine built the Revell '69 version and had a helluva time getting the valance to fit right.

beautiful. outstanding job all around, but i particularly like the interior detail. great color and i am glad you left the big black patched on the hood off. i don't think they go well on this car, just my opinion. great build!!
