bigdrag1 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 A friend gave me the body and Interior parts from the King T and I had a mint Casper`s Paddy wagon in my stash, so this is what I built. Hope you it.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alan barton Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 That is a beautiful build. I love the soft lavender pearl shade you used, very similar to the real car. I built one of these many years ago using the frame and running gear from the Carl Casper Fire truck. It is now somewhat dated but like you I have a spare body and interior. I would like to do justice to this iconic Oakland winner. Can you tell me if the Paddy Wagon has the actual fender unit and grille that you used here, or did you have to modify them or source them from elsewhere?

oldscool Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Very nice and those wheels look better than the fake wooden spoked ones that were on the real car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedpro Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Nice work! Came out pretty darn good for a kit bash. I have a original issue kit of this car in my stash in storage. Just so happens that i also have a ton of pictures of the real car during the restoration as i put a lot of it together myself along with my boss. I'll get on my other computer and post a pic or 2.

Spex84 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I love it ! The paint color, pinwall tires, and brass details make it look bang-on for a car show circa 1965 or so. I dig all the very delicate-looking details, the flat fenders, the windshield frame and crank, spindly independent suspension, wide stance...just a neat style that we don't see much any more.

Speedpro Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 The last i heard is Richard Rawlings owns it and its in colorado. That was in around 2016 i think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iBorg Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 So that's what came of the MPC King T.....it got hauled to Carl Casper's jail? Explains why it hasn't been reissued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
