Because there are a lot of automotive enthusiasts who have no time, patience or skill to do it themselves. Think about the number of car guys you've met in your travels who say "ya I got a kit of this in my closet, been meaning to get to it..." for like 10 years. And when they do, because they're not model builders like us, they don't take the time or effort required to put out a really good result.

Thanks. The body is from an old AMT "Masters" kit from the 80s (the ones that came in those small boxes no wider than the body) I found on ebay in England. Surprisingly the shipping was pretty fair. The rest of the kit is an absolute disaster. It's curbside and has very poor detail. So I'm using the usual AMT "Millenium Edition" '63 Galaxie for the rest of the build.

The Thunderbolt was a Fairlane. Mid-size chassis.
