maltsr Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 (edited) This build combines the Revell 1964 Thunderbolt kit with a Jimmy Flintstone resin body. The teardrop was removed from the bonnet (hood) and replaced with styrene and filler. A parts box 289 engine was fitted, along with an aluminium driveshaft and plastic rod for the exhaust aft of the mufflers. Wheels/tyres by Pegasus, and paint is some old Duplicolor rattlecan.
