Bainford Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Very cool. Those old decals seem to have held up well. Nice work getting them on well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike C Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 Those crazy customs were cool. I saw that in person at the NY Rod & Custom show when I was a kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobo2me Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 A fitting car for Marilyn Munster to go with Herman's Koach and Uncle Festor's Dragula. Very well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldriginal86 Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 I couldn’t bring myself to purchase this kit when it was originally out. Thought it was ridiculous. After seeing this build, I wish there was one in my stash for nostalgia’s sake. Well executed build! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peteski Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Yes, very well built model!

I don't have it handy to check, but I'm sure it was not the original release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to https://www.scalemates.com/kits/monogram-85-6744-bathtub-buggy-george-barris-saturday-night-mare-show-rod--959332 that kit was reissued in 2009 (earlier than I recalled), but still more recent than 1969. While that website is not always accurate, that entry seems on target. You might be able to find the 2009 release on eBay, or some other site where out of production models are sold. Will likely be less expensive than the first release. Edited September 8, 2023 by peteski Fixed wrong date Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will likely be less expensive than the first release. Nice Peter, thank you for the info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
