Hacking away merrily last night and I noticed that the instructions don't mention fitting the steering rack. So if your front end is a bit wobbly, that might be the reason.
Also, has anyone got a frame that sits square? I've binned most of the cross members and used solid plastic rod instead. Who's bright idea was it to use this POC?

Dave: Strip chrome? Are you sure you're right for this board?
Lee: I'm guessing someone has a spare! Which bit broke?

Mine is now in a similar position.......I like the beatnick Bandit 2 wheels. Mine is getting the americans from a revell 32. Started mocking up the new floor section last night for the ice-cream box. Dont think the Ferrero Roche box is going to work as it is just too big even after severe trimming, the curves are a bit too big

Remember I said I might have an old Milk Truck body? Should I go and look for it now?
My own little horror is definitely getting the Bugatti body and an Offenhauser four cylinder track engine. Mock up looks OK and initial hacking has started.
Also managed to flood the workbench in super glue last night! Picked up what I thought was the super thick glue and of course it was super thin. Nothing kit related damaged (luckily) but another pair of jeans bites the dust! Man those fumes hurt your throat!

Anything built around the Revell Model T chassis and running gear. The kit came in sedan, touring and sedan delivery versions as well as two 1934 versions (whose bodies had to be massively massaged to get them to fit!). Complete kits usually run in the £7 - 10 bracket.
