I've seen this top on the actual cars. I've used this on my kit. I have had three of these and one I gave to my dad. I got the first one in 1986 - I think. I'm not sure. Either way I've never had much problem but when I built it I had no real experience and it shows!! Most of this was put together correctly but I had to go over it again and buy a new body and all new chrome and glass parts. Someone had started it but I cleaned the paint off. I didn't know that you can use Easy-off oven cleaner to remove paint from polystyrene without damaging it. I used 600 grit but now that I have a lot more experience I can fix this too. Any way this is a great kit and I will enjoy rebuilding it once I get it smoothed and all the small parts corrected. Thank you for posting this video!

Exactly why I do these. Better than a few pics on an auction, isn't it? And oh yes, this kit looks to be quite good.

I have that exact model from AMT. Molded in white and black. It is quite the fiddly build.

I just got this kit and look forward to the build. The wheels are way to wide and need to be trimmed. Apart from that it should come up well.

It does appear to be a great kit. A friend built one and there was one issue that I can't remember, but it was something easy enough to overcome.

I had this kit Mike. You would never imagine what I traded it for... Yes, a Monogram '57 Chevy 1:12 scale, like I needed another one...

I think you'll like it. Check out HobbyTime with PapaDan channel. He built one about a year ago. There was some issue with something on it. I can't remember what.

If you send an e-mail to "fredsmodelworldonline",(it's a .com address), with the MPC kit # he might be able to give you an issue date. I'm sure it's not an original issue because of the ERTL marking on the box. I have 4 of this kit and only one is an AMT/ERTL. I bought all 4 of mine at Fred's, best prices anywhere. The pieces in the doors/trunk/hood are to keep the body from warping.

Ha,I always end up making a list of 1st, 2nd, & 3rd choices whenever I see a new list. I used to get an advanced list but I'd end up spending 2 to 300 bucks. I enjoy his tales as well. He's actually quite a good story teller.
