FordRodnKustom Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 Hi all, here's my latest project. I've been on a GTO kick lately and I had this krazy idea I wanted to try. I always liked the looks of the Monkey Mobile except for the goofy phaeton roof so out came the saws, super glue, Evercoat and sandpaper. It'll be a simple build, not much detail, just going for the look. How it began: Here's how it looks today with more body work, stance and wheel choice set: I used the chassis and interior tub from the '67 kit. Wheels are from a Raider's Coach kit and tires are from the parts box. Not sure of a color yet but I'm thinking metal flake red? What ya'll think? Thanks for taking a look. Comments, suggestions and ideas welcome!
george 53 Posted April 25, 2009 Posted April 25, 2009 OOOOOH THAT'S NICE!!!! Yeah, a candy/ruby red "flake with a tan inyerior ,kinda like the MM would look classic!. REALLY nice job on the customizing! You got you a winner there Ronster! Go all out on it!
Foxer Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 I sense some Monkeying around....... Cool idea... looks like the clips even fit well!
Jantrix Posted April 26, 2009 Posted April 26, 2009 That looks perfect. This is going to be a classic custom.

This is looking a lot better!! Thanks for sharing,
