Just one thing. I thinking of buying on of those kits and I'm wondering is it worth it?

Mrak: It depends on how you look at it. I bought it online for $35 with shipping. So with that in mind its all in how you look in worth. For me, its one of my dream vehicles so it was a must have. When I bought the kit I knew that it was an older AMT and with AMT's that I have had in the past I was expecting ruff kit. Though I was pleasantly surprised that it was a lot nicer then I had expected detail wise, but there has and will be a lot of work to make it right. This I have come to find other kits from the past. Case in point some of the things that I have talked about so far with the build and other things like over a dozen sink marks in the frame rails of the chassis that I have to fix. I am a very
particular person, so things have to be just right or I wont like it and Ill keep working on it till it is. So if it is a subject that you are really interested in doing then I say go for it. Just know that if you want it to look nice plan on doing work. If that doesnt bother you then it has a lot of flaws. Hope this helps.

What wheels where you thinking of using? Steelies go with everything, this seems like a muscle truck tho, so maybe you want something, um...beefy

blubaja: I do agree with you, steelies do go with everything.
However that is not quite the look I am going for. I want to do more of a modern street truck look but with out loosing its classic touches. This is more of the look I am after:
Thanks guys for all the kind words. Ill keep you posted.
