Drag-U-la surfboard

[BIGTRUCK]

I'm building the Munsters Drag-U -la and even though I grew up when the show was on I dont remember any surfboard on top of this car.I looked for pictures thinking maybe in the movie they made but never found any. What did I miss?

AMT may have made that up, just for the sake of adding something to the kit in order to justify the price.

...And then Rob Zombie wrote a song about it!

Wasn't a surfboard featured either in one of the Munsters episodes or in one of the movies?

Waaayyyy back in the day one of the model car magazines ran an article on using the chassis and engine parts from the Dragula to create something called "The Surf Slab" with that surfboard.

I looked that info up and found the old Model Car Science ran an article on building a car out of  the Surf Slab in the May of 1966 issue with pictures, thanks Karl.

Vince I found a pic. Type in Munsters Surf Slab and you will find it.

Looks like you need to use parts from Drag u la and the Koach.
