I wish these would be reissued. I think Round 2 probably owns tooling since Lindberg bought Pyros assets to my knowledge.

My 1st Pyro kit and 1/32 scale build. I added plug wires and scratchbuilt a acetylene tank for the lights and made handles for tool boxes on running boards to add realism. And used fabric to hang crank which is common of crank start cars so crank handle is secure. Im very proud of how the red trim i painted turned out. A beutiful brass era Packard.

Ya. Back then that was still standard. Even in a higher level trim. I love the 88 thru 98s. Thanks! -

I combined Tom Daniels Paddy wagon and George Barris Vampire van. But it is mostly from the TD kit. But i chopped the body down to the C cab and chopped hearse part of body from the Vampire van. Ford Cobra engine from TD kit and with high rise intake from spare parts and suspension from paddy wagon kit. I made the pipe extensions from headers. I scratchbuilt the coffin from sheet styrene. Grill from Barris Ice Cream truck rod. Scratch made windows for hearse body from clear styrene sheet. And i wanted to keep rims from Paddy wagon kit to. I named it the Early Grave i was trying to think of a cool name and that came to me. and sent what i wanted to STS decals and Terry printed them for me for a very reasonable price. High quality decals. I think it is cool. One of a kind. I think Tom Daniel and George Barris would agree...
