Made a start on this one the other night and thought the kit looked pretty good but when mocking things up was when I had found the real faults. Starting with the floor pan I dont know where they got the info for the fuel tank but they were way off so modified the one I cut out of my 69 superbee and looks so much better. Next the rear end was like a blob of plastic, the set up of the exhaust and diff moulded as one unit, and had to make a few changes. Cut the diff away from the leaf springs and found a much better alternative in the parts box that I cut to suit and installed. Removed the exhaust from the original diff housing and removed all the excess plastic from the exhaust and drilled out the tail pipes. Kit didnt even come with rear shocks so used the stock set from the revell 68 dodge dart super stock as they also had detailed mounting plates. Mocking everything up found the tail shaft was too short so had to make up a new one and have now finished the rear end not looking forward to the front end. In hindsight should have replaced the whole floor pan with a better detailed one but didnt have a spare. Still deciding if I will go with the supplied rims and tires or go with these rallye wheels and red walls. Cheers and thanks for looking Steve
