Neat kit.  I also built one back in the 60's.  Great detail for it's time, but as Bob says it can be a nightmare getting everything in the chassis drivetrain lined up and then getting the body panels to fit correctly.  I remember having particular problems getting the exhaust headers lined up with their openings in the lower side body panels.  Well done, it can be a spectacular model.

I have built two of these little buggers over the years ... enjoyed the build ... just didn't like the results 100% ... but then I'm hard on myself ... good luck, from what I have heard and seen ... results can be outstanding

Thanks for the info guys!  I found the Scale Auto thread; it'll help a lot.
