Very clean and no flash at all which is the first kit I have had that hasn't had it

Maybe a fabricated bushing would solve the wheel wobble? have to pull the kit from the stock pile. Thanks for the heads up!

If you look at the pic with it on its side you can see the left front wheel kinda hanging a little

With todays technology you'd think they could get the parts to fit better. Nature of the beast I guess. Thanks.

charliec: well, I hope this is the right place to put a review of a kit. Apr 15, 2013 23:37:54 GMT -5

charliec: I guess I will start over. didn't realize that hitting the return key posted the message. the kit I have in mind is the new 57 Ford Custom kit. This is not a rehash of the old 57 hardtop. For one, the new kit is a sedan, and the old one is a hardtop. Apr 15, 2013 23:41:38 GMT -5

gramps2u: Hey Charlie! Good to see you've made it! New forum good people. Hope to see the rest of the group here too! Dimebolt made here as well! Lets see some pics of your 57 Ford! Apr 16, 2013 7:20:22 GMT -5
