Just put my order in today for a kit with the Kodak decals. The first of several 2+2's to come. |

I'm not quite done with mine but from mocking it up it looks like a great kit. It does sit a touch high on the chassis, but that could well be a "me" problem. I'll know more when I get it to final assembly. |

Roof is a little low. Note the difference in thickness above the quarter window on the 2+2 and compare to a Regal or Monte Carlo. I saved mine by thinning out the top of the main cage hoop to let the body sit lower on the chassis, I might get the Dremel out and put a slight channel in the inside of the roof before I paint but there's not a lot of plastic there. |

Ah, I was wondering what the issue might be. I've just painted mine so dremeling it won't be happening, but perhaps a few small steps might help it sit a touch lower. Thanks Tom! |
