Nacho Z Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 Those of you that may have a few years on you might remember The Munsters. Grandpa had to build a race car and win a drag race to get back the Munster Koach that Herman lost. I remember watching it as a kid. I built the DRAG-U-LA for FB group Halloween theme build. It was a fun model to build. I added a few aftermarket pieces to enhance its appearance. I hope it puts a smile on your face! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misha Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 That’s a great build John and your photos enhance it by revealing the underside. Did you use a mirror with a dark background to reflect? Cheers Misha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is always nice to see comments on your build. I will post a pic of the wheels' package. There are several places to get them. I don't want to step on anyone's toes by not suggesting their business. Even Curt states in his packaging that the rims are a little rough and will need to be polished up. No slam on Curt, I will buy more, but they will need a little work to get a shine on them. Make sure to measure your kit tires and/or rims to get the correct size.
