Originally posted by Paul3[/i] Except for the molded on grabs, etc. But I agree, the tooling on the GP50, et al., is very, very good (especially for the era). Excuse me, the GP-38-2. GP-40-2 and GP-50 did not have molded on grabs, but they did have starter holes for placing your own wire grabs. And, yes the SD-40-2 did have molded on grabs which had to be removed. By the way the P1K RS-11 hoods were too short which is why I did not buy any, gave the engine an entirely wrong look. By the way your right, I did forget to suggest to change out the plastic wheels for metal ones, I have been doing that on all my cars as of late. Any I do have a lot of old Blue Box kits that I painted and decaled and will never give up on due to the work involved when I built them. But I am in the process of updating the cars with A-line stirrup steps and metal wheel sets. Rick
