As you can see the body is super clean, no flash or bubbles anywhere. Windshield and tail lights in small bag. Lines are sharper then they look in my photos

Austin, I'm working on mine as we speak! I removed the ridge around the cockpit along with the windshild wipers but left the hoodscoop intact (the original had none of these). Hope to have it done within the next week and will post here. As you stated the body is very well formed and they "pre-prep" it before shipping.
This is so nice I just may have to get their 57 Ford Customline to drape over a Revogram chassis.

Very cool project. This is one of those "I am gonna do that someday" kits on my list.

Will watch this one :)
