Pros 

This kit has the option to be built in either a Custom or Stock version. This means it comes with lots of extra parts for the suspension, engine, wheels and decals.
Parts went together with little to no adjustments or modification.
Chrome parts were in excellent condition.
Instructions are very detailed and clear which adds to the the building fun.

Cons 

Just to be critical, the wheels for the stock version did not sit on the axles very well, so they had to be glued in place. Beyond that, nothing to complain about!

Comments 

This kit turned out to be great to put together. I would recommend this one to a novice builder who has a few builds under his/her belt and is ready to get into some advanced skills. Parts are solidly molded and cleanly manufactured.
