James,
I have not personally built any of these resin
kits, however I have seen the unbuilt kits, and they aren't for the
faint-of-heart. There's quite a bit of filling in and filing nessasary, and only
a very experienced model builder should attempt doing these kits. Many of these
kits are available fully assembled and painted in original factory colors
from Wheat's Nostalgia in Pittsburgh, PA. I have several in my collection, such
as the '57 Dodge convertible, '57 Plymouth Sport Suburban and the '60 Chrysler
Town & Country. These avarage about $180.00 each, but the finished product
is absolutely beautiful! Wheat's will also paint to order for a little
extra.

models?
Curious if anyone has tried these kits. Pricey,
but not many other options for our cars...
