Thanks to all for your comments. Harry P I have to admit I am a bit chagrinned by the rear paint "goobers." I flirted with the idea of redoing the entire rear of the car but frankly, this one fought me so hard I decided enough was enough. It is not one of my better paint jobs but it is my best foiling job ever. Charlie, I don't know if hendrix still makes the same model (or if they every did). I have had the transkit for several years and really can't remember where it came from. I did look up R & R's website and find they have a Checker Supurba listed there. Their kit looks a little better than what I was using as their headlight bucket and taillamp bezels are cast seperately. That would have been an improvement. Make no mistake if you order one of these. They are a real bear to assemble. This one had a heck of a twist to the body and still is not "right" in my book. Despite the flaws (like I forgot to clear out the finger prints from the inside of the windows...then epoxied down the body *&^&%$#!) I am happy with the results overall. One other comment. I recently bought something else from hendrix (a Model T Fruit Wagon) so I believe they are alive and kicking.
Thanks guys.
Eric
