I dropped off this for a few days, but to answer a couple questions: This is my second build, the first was a Contemporary Cobra. However, we got it second hand, and the body was pretty much already done, so we didn't deal with alignment issues. That was a very good 'kit', though. It drives great, rides nice, and does 4 second runs to 60!
As far as the advertised car here, I agree the dash needs help, and the overspray is funky. But, neither of those is a StreetBeasts issue. SB didn't paint the car, and they didn't cover the dash in leather-like material either. I hear all this bashing of SB, but none of the issues anyone brings up are the fault of SB. Again, not saying they are perfect, but my point is that all these cars, whether glass or steel, seem to need some "massaging". Far as I can tell, my car is pretty straight, and has gone together well. The gaps aren't perfect, but my painter estimates 50 hours of prep and fit-finish work to smooth all edges, fix all lines, and get ready for paint. That doesn't sound extreme to me. If I were trying to work this on a budget, the lines are close enough and the doors and hood fit well enough to be fine, just not show winner perfect.Steve

I did not know Mike very well, we exchanged some messages from time to time but from what I understand he was a very good man. I was sad to learn about this
