TooOld Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 I wanted to build something quick and easy so I dug thru my parts and came up with this . It's my home built Zinger using a body and front wheels/tires from an AMT 1/43rd scale VW , engine from MPC Popcorn Wagon , headers from Revell Anglia , rear wheels/tires/axle and misc pieces from my Zinger parts box . These are the same parts Dennis Johnson used to build his very first Zinger back in 1970 except he used the rear wheels/tires from an MPC Olsonite Eagle , I had those but decided not to break up a complete kit . It was fun but not so quick , ended up taking almost four weeks to finish ! . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TarheelRick Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Kind of cute in a strange sort of way. Those rear tires look like they may have seen some street action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
