I'm going to start this car model build with a disclaimer: I am an artist, not a modeler. This is a very specific car, so be forewarned that I plan to take several liberties with it strictly for taste. There are some fantastic stock and modified builds out there, and I admire the dedication and thought that went into those projects. But, my end goal here is to create a barn find. How well-preserved or how dilapidated it ends up, who knows.

There are 14 sprues of parts with a smattering of other pieces and 14 pages of detailed instructions. So far, I'm really impressed with this kit. I've not built a car this large, so the details are wonderful. There are also pre-colored light covers and rubberized parts beyond just the tires. I plan to build a complete model, but I'm not going to be a stickler for every last detail. I will be adding a few elements not included in the kit, though. A lot of this car will end up dirty, too, so some details will be lost in age and grime anyway. I will pick my battles.
