Monogram Green Hornet Bucket

Always wanted to do one of these right out of the box, with paint of course and I added wires and white walls from Vinyl Nation.

Those old Monogram hot rod kits were the bomb and they still are.  You did an excellent job with this one.

Neat! That's a nice build of one of my favorite old kits!

That kit is pretty much a replica of the Geraghty and Crawford "show 'n' go" T, called The Grasshopper. Trying to find photos of it.

Found a link to a re-creation at HRM. The car ran 9.0s at 150 MPH. Pretty quick!

Awesome info! I knew I've seen this thing before other than on a model box! Lol.
