<profile removed> Posted December 22, 2019 (edited) Curbside/shelf model. No engine or chassis details. Scratch built front spoiler. Back window was...a "bear" (Kodiak bear pun...oh, never mind ☺) Edited December 22, 2019 by AMC ROB Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Van Posted December 22, 2019 Nice work!!! I have a JNJ 2+2 kit on hand but waiting to see Salvinos kit....maybe easier. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

<profile removed> Posted December 23, 2019 Thanks! This is a JNJ conversion kit (nose and back window) I've had sitting forever. I finally got around to piecing it together. I did not use the JNJ vacu-formed deck lid, though. I modified the trunk myself with putty and, believe it or not, a section from a plastic easter egg. The grille screens are also not included with the JNJ pieces...so I painted some 3M medical tape and cut it to shape. It seems to have a fairly appropriate scale grille texture. I'm sure the purists here are cringing, but I think it looks ok on the shelf. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I see a resin body on ebay right now but I'd rather convert like you did. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vietnam Vet67 Posted December 29, 2019 I was in Vietnam in 1967 as part of the 70th Combat Engineer Battalion and our mascot was the Kodiak Bear. Go figure!!!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Coyote Posted December 29, 2019 Outstanding build sir. I understand that those old JNJ conversions can be quite challenging. Looks like you conquered yours beautifully. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
