it's here uncrated and on jack stands

Picked up my 550 kit yesterday kind of an ordeal but that's another story. Here is a site with some pics. I will be updating as I progress on the kit if anyone is interested.

Yeah!! Keep the pics going - have fun with the build.

Yours came with holes cut out? Dang... angela

let the fun begin!

Could I make a suggestion? We cut up the shipping crate to build a rolling car building "frame". Raised it up about 18-20 inches by using the 4x4 materials from the crate. Put heavy furniture type casters underneath it and used that to roll the car around in the garage. Very handy. Roll it out, scrub off all the mold release, roll it back in etc. Even after we had suspension in we used the rolling frame because it raised the car up enough to make working on it much easier on the back.

This is what I built for mine - very handy

Can I ask where the headrest can be purchased? I have seen a couple different variations and I definitely want one.

Other question - please forgive my eyes, but is this a metal body? I can't see well enough to tell!

No it's a fiberglass body from Thunder Ranch. The head rest is from them also. They sell them as well as other bits and pieces. Call them and ask for Jeannie she will set you up.

Gordon,

Headrests are also available from Russ at Fibersteel
