restoman Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 I picked this up as a glue-bomb a few years ago. The body and glass were surprisingly good, but the engine, interior and chassis was pretty much a solid chunk of styrene and cement. I saved/rebuilt what I could and robbed the parts box for what I couldn't. A scratch built front axle and some left-over decals over the House of Kolor Planet Green completed the car.

High octane Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 That's a nice save Mike as it's lookin' good, and I believe that I have that kit in my "stash" somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted February 24, 2018 Share Posted February 24, 2018 Nice save. Good to see someone use those '80s era Ertl '40 Ford "Avenger" decals, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
