I purchased a Shell Valley in November and I hate to say I have not done much with it. My friends and family say I have to many projects, what do they know? My early assesment of the car is it is an overall good kit and looks some what easy to build. The people at Shell Valley are nice and easy to deal with. Rich Lacey delivered the car and was a pleasure to deal with. Do not get me wrong though their are some flaws. I found one bubble so far in the glass. The body although better than most kits I have seen will need considerable work to make the doors fit properly and to straghten out the wheel opennings. The cowl hoop is made of round tubing and not the best crafted one in the industry. I got the standard hood scoop and it is flat on the top not rounded like the originals. Now that I have criticized every flaw I could find let me tell you how nice the rest of the car is. The frame and suspension are top notch and even though thye body is not perfect it is better than most I have seen. The drivers door does not fit propely on mine so I called the company and explained the problem and they sent me a new door hindge within a few days. They are a good company to deal with and you get a lot of car for the money.
