Does anyone know anything about this kit?

In particular, is it the same body as this one?

Al, its COMPLETELY different. its 1/24, and a much better kit to work with that the Buttera kit.

I built it back in the day.

I don't think it is chopped.

The Monogram "Early Iron" series offered few options on the kits and detailing wasn't that great. It's 1/24 so it's a bit larger than 1/25. I didn't like that series much.
The Buttera does look chopped and I think (?) has the Jaguar rear suspension and maybe the small block Ford they used in the Model Ts Buttera made.
I sometimes go to Fotki and the Drastic Plastics' instruction sheets to check. They seem to have reduced the instructions some, but it's a great resource.
Given a choice, I'd go for the Revell as it has nice suspension and detailing.

I bought a Revell 34 coupe, 'California kid', some years ago. Great detail, but after I built it, I tore it up! Same for a Revell 33 Willys Gasser. They looked about 2/3rds the size of my other models. Didn't look well posed with the others. I think I still have parts from them in the junk box.

Thanks guys.

It would appear that the Monogram kit is completley different to the Revell one I'm currently building.

That gives me the confidence to bid for it now.

Thanks all.
