Pros 

The three in one version gives lots of options and extra parts. Three different tire and wheel options. Kit builds well overall.

Cons 

Chrome parts have significant flash.
Metal axles were too long
Rear of hood has no support. Had to scratch build a support or hood didn't sit right.
Both front and rear pans were too wide and had to be trimmed.
Exhaust and suspension are both molded into the chassis and detail on them is poor.

Comments 

This is an older kit of the '66 Mustang. I have heard, but cannot verify, that newer releases of this kit have corrected the fit problems for the front and rear pan and the lack of support for the rear of the hood.
