Its part of the Cougar kit but I can part it out.

Since I already built BeverlyHillbillies truck and I have another kit it makes sense to build the Jethro version. All the info I gathered there were changes in the car depending on what site you got info from. Im going with the first picture. The seat needed backs as they just looked odd out of the box,and there really no interior detail, but some simple evergreen sheet stock helped there.

Thats wild..

Built the Pepsi showrod as a mate to the Coke showrod. Part resin,part plastic and built from extra parts, Cab is from 1925 T Fruitwagon, back half is Flintstone resin with added fenders. The rest is parts box ..

Cab is from the '25 "T" Fruitwagon, rear box is a J/F resin piece, front axle and some of the motor is from the Monogram PaddyWagon the rest of the engine is parts box, frame is made from evergreen plastic ,rear fenders are from a Lindberg kit , tires wheels and everything else are parts box. Pepsi decals are from Monogram Darrell Waltrip Nascar kit. Kit is rather long for a showrod at over 7 inches.

Thanks, they can turn out pretty decent with some detailing as long as they dont start out cartoonish, but then again I'll try to build just about anything.😃

The Heller Mercedes ,the plane and 31 Cadillac. also gone...

I have most of them including Bronco..

Toss some big tires from the Revell snap kit and they dont come out bad.

Really cool build ,I like all of it..

This is and old school back in the day model kit. I've worked on and off on this kit and just decided to get it done as I was just building it right out of the box and no changes except color. I decided to paint it a lighter green and used a few decals from other kits as the Monogram ones were cracked bad. It all went together nice with almost '0' flash, not bad for early 60's tooling.

I do remember those where you had to slide the bottle out. I looked it up on line and the machine was called a "Slider 50".

I guess 3rd paint job was the charm.1st redo was my doing not liking the light yellow. The darker yellow was a better choice in my opinion. The roof had a twist at the front so after rebuilding that and making it more of a cap fit I started the 3rd painting. Thanks to Joe Phillips and DJ Moore from this forum for speed parts ,decals and Coke items. Now it sits with the UPS showrod I converted from another MPC PaddyWagon builder.

After painting the body twice, first light yellow then a darker yellow same yellow as the pictured Coke cooler. Im going to paint this for a 3rd time, I even had the Coke decals on it, just was not happy with the body.. everything else is pretty much done...again.😃

Took a short break from building and now getting back into the swing of things. Everything is in primer and body painted. I opted for an early yellow and red scheme I found pictures of. The yellow I used is lighter then the yellow I found in pictures and the red is darker than I found in pictures but it is a Phantom CocaCola ShowRod. None of the parts are chromed , so I'll use gold paint or gold foil, and some silver paint and or chrome foil.

Thanks for the reply..

Does anyone know if the AMT camaro gen 2 hoods will fit the MPC 1973 Camaro Z28 kit. I also notoiced that the ones in resin are always for the AMT 70 Camaro. Thanks Ken

I got this MPC PaddyWagon awhile back, I believe it was part of a trade. I got it all apart and only casualty was the fan belt assembly. The front axle was missing a spindle so I'm using a 40 Ford front axle. Rear tires are resin wrinkle wall slicks I made copies of. The other big change is I'm going to make it a CocaCola Showrod truck. TECHMAN (DJ Moore)from this forum sent me the coke cases and and many sheets of decals. The decals I opted to use are from the 40 Willys. Colors will be yellow and red, no chrome.

This is the only one I have if it helps..

Scale is 1/20th.If its not the craziest showrod I've built, it has to be the most colorful. Built straight from the box except the paper party lantern inside. The only issue is you need is to test fit the uptop as mine did not fit well, I had to trim it a few times to get the fit I have. The bamboo hat decal was a little tough to snuggle in also. Other than that its different.
