Plus like i said they snap together.....so confusing.

i could be a board for your car to get onto a trailer but i dont know why they would snap together

[Flea]

the long peices are for holding a peice of sandpaper ... you wrap it around one peice and snap the other peice in place ...

DId it also come with the TV for the console? I have a Crusin USA issue and it had that also. How about the engine display stand is that there? The 49 Ford has a nice set of extras as well

I mus assume then that you are in my age bracket to even have recognized it as a reel to reel
I love those AMT kits with all the surprises

When I first saw the title to this thread, I thought you found a bag of pot or a diamond ring...My next thought was, "He found a model that the parts FIT together correctly."

But what coolie add on parts and tools! Be careful with that 'knife' bro! I like the snap-to sanding bar that's something you can use every model you build.

as far as fittment of the kit sux but the extras alone make it worth it (especally since it was half of at hobby lobby).
and dag, I'm just 22, don't know how old you are but i've never heard of a reel to reel in a car.

P.S. Flea....thank you for straightening out the two long peices for me. a sanding bar, so simple yet som any views and no one got it until you posted

Yeah I have never seen one in a car before but it makes a great garage accessorie. I am surprised most guys your age don't know waht a reel to reel is.
Keep us posted on the build

I posted a link to the progress in the completed and inprogress section....titled "In Progress: Miguel's 1949 merc". right now the server is down on the other forum . but as soon as it is i will post my recent progress. Just finished the motor and most of the suspension.

I got one a few weeks ago, and was stoked to see all the goodies with it. I was suprised to see the 2 engine options, and an engine stand for display of the extra engine. Way cool kit that has some fitment issues, but its meant to cut and chop anyways. I already have 23 inch rims tucked, and plans to chop the top and channel the body.
