Tub #3 for a November Tuesday....

[tim boyd]

It's really cold here in Michigan today....dreaming of warmer times in SoCal....at least in a 1/25th scale world....

This model was built from a test shot of the Revell Dan Fink Speedwagon kit, sent to me along with the Three Window Deuce and Roadster kit parts from the same tool, by then-Revell Vice President Roger Harney. The Three Window kit was built for the intro/cover story/feature article in Scale Auto Enthusiast magazine in late 1996, while the other two kits were lightly kitbashed including the one shown here.

Basically, built from the test shot, but with the Speedwagon roof removed and a modified small block Ford V8 kitbashed in; the paint was (to the best of my memory) real 1976 GM Bright Lime Metallic, and the wheels came from one of the more obscure Monogram Street Machine kits of the 1970's.

Scroll down for some more views including detail shots....and thanks for looking!  Cheer....TIM

I remember an old episode of My Classic Car and a guy did something similar with an old Plymouth.

Very clean SoCal street rod there Tim. The colours work well together, well done.
