Beautiful job on a tough-to-find kit! Don't worry about those wheelcovers - they were optional on the full-size cars per the brochure; dog dishes were standard. "Looks like that ol' leg's broken - guess we have to shoot you." "Moooom!" "Oh, enough with you two!"

My boss has one of these plastic fantastics, an Allied Swallow (or what's left of one): Geoff over at Forgotten Fiberglass told my boss it was a cut-down coupe rather than a real roadster. Is that an MGTD frame under it?

Cool! Volksrods were a thing here in SoCal in the late '60s/early '70s; Rod & Custom gave them pretty good coverage, then they seem to have faded away. Basically Fad T-bucket with a hood in the front (instead of the usual chromed SBC) and a VW powertrain tucked under the shortened pickup bed. Anyway, picked up a '67 Corvair dashboard and steering wheel - the only year from '65-'69 that AMT depicted the auto shifter on the dash; already have a Roth Road Agent for the Corvair Powerglide transmission so I can make my '69 an automatic. Also grabbed a clean early issue '65 GTO rear bumper cheeeeeep to get taillight lenses to help salvage a damaged promo.

That's just remarkable, Bill! How does it compare in size to the Jo-Han '58 Fleetwood? I remember hearing those were made to "box scale" rather than exact 1/25; I know from experience their '59 and '60s were short compared to the Monogram kits.
