1968 MPC PaddyWagon

[BIGTRUCK]

Changed up a few minor things like silver to gold trim on the wheels and interior color from red to a tan color. The chassis only needs a couple more added then its done. The rest should be smooth sailing.

Looks like you have it on the run Ken !

Not sure if this is what you need. Let me know and it is yours.

I could use those monogram PW parts if you are still offering them up?

If you can find one of the versions of the MPC "Outcast" kit, it has the same chassis.

As does the Fire Truck

But the chassis actually originated under the "Tognotti's T"

I knew the Outcast spawned from the Fire Truck, but I thought the Firetruck is where that tooling started. Didn't know it came from the Tognotti T tooling. I though that morphed into a different showrod?

@Dave Darby?

Oops. I got those parts from TNT after you passed on them; needed to complete a TD Paddy Wagon kit. I waited to see if you were going to take them before I contacted him! Sorry 'bout that.

I do usually my research before making a post like this ,Craig.

But, you certainly can ask Dave Darby , seeing as you doubt my post.?

Sorry Steve, no offence intended. 

There is often lots of confusion with regards to lineage with these showcar kits, and Dave is my go-to guru on this stuff, along with Mark B. 

Forgive me if I offended you. With so much misinformation floating around I was just looking for a little confirmation.

Nice rescue and resuscitation.

No offence taken Craig. I've been called wrong so many times when I know I'm right and had done my research before opening my mouth that's it's now just a "knee-jerk reaction" to show my reference material when I'm responding to the "challenge", as it were. 

,,And of course, I am wrong sometimes too and I admit when I have made a mistake. ?
