Well I got it finished!!! I think this was one of the hardest cars I ever built. Not because the kit was too difficult, but having the idea about how to approach building it. First of all, I am never going to build this kit again. (Thank goodness I did not buy this one!) It went together very poorly. Chassis was warped, roof did not fit well, radiator hoses don't even go to the right place on the engine, the front bumper didn't fit right, The steering wheel and column don't even fit together, the tab on the column mates up with the wheel, except it mounts it upside down!, and the front suspension is a clunky mess (look at the box art the right front wheel is out of wack!). I'm glad I threw away the interior, 'cause it wouldn't of fit anyhow. I do not recommend anyone to buy this kit. Any how, it turned out better than I thought. Sorry about the rant!! Heres the drift Dragon!!!! Enjoy!! -Louie

Looks good, Louie! Good recovery of a difficult kit.
And, like you said ... at least you didn't spend money on it!!
That's part of the fun of the kit exchange.

It's just WRONG!
It's gotta be some form of cheating!

Not cheating...Just really bored when I get home from work everyday!! And once I got my idea it just started rolling from there. My creative mind was at work and I wouldn't be happy until it was done!! ;D -Louie
