Nosferatu Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I had started a few builds a couple years ago, so I decided to finish them. One was the bike hauler I built using a broken electric stapler of which I posted earlier.I also started this one with The Beatnik Bandit. I love the BB!! I removed the middle section and added the indented side panels. I also re-designed the front and rear ends to reflect a teardrop. I used the seat and door panels from the BB. I used the engine scoops from Grandpa Munsters dragster and stuffed in a V6 . I added the headrest and exhaust pipes. Thanks to my wife naming it after a Praying Mantis we saw in the yard,.Thanks for looking and I hope you like it.Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
