This is a vintage kit from minicraft circa early 1980's I believe.. this kit is neat in that it provides steel hinges for the hood and wire rods for the doors. I've discovered the wire for the doors has become brittle and one is broken so I'll have to remake it with a small paperclip. I'm going to attempt to take my interior detail work to another level on this one since this model is so huge and use some selections of fabric for the carpets and possibly the seats. We shall see how it turns out. So far the fabric I glued to the floor for carpeting worked out pretty good. But that's a fairly flat surface. Covering the seats with the leather looking vinyl I purchased might be a whole different experience and challenge because of the thickness of the fabric.
