About 10 years ago I found this original box to add to my box art collection , and as luck would have it there was some original parts inside including this body in primer . I finished it off with a donor chassis from the Dyno Don Cougar and a parts box Hemi some Testors enamel slixx decals . I thought oh cool another color me gone car to the collection. Then through another post a little bit ago on this form I learned of the Don Emmonds build of the late 60’s . Since that article was before I was born I wasn’t aware of it until then . So I can only wonder if this was another Don Emmonds inspired build ? Anyway here it is .I for one am a huge advocate of seeing this one along with the Mr . Unswitchable remade . The really cool part of this kit was that it could be made one of 2 ways either A/FX or flip top as in the mid 60’s these cars would change more rapidly then model kit manufacturers could keep up with. I included a couple pictures of both cars with that excellent original box art . So until next time thanks for looking, IMG_4791.jpeg.ee206f2b3d889453f03946ed01cb2e02.jpegIMG_4793.jpeg.4f99393f10e598212cdc8ba136ad50e2.jpegIMG_4792.jpeg.114e46caa54684cca7d6f068f80c8e67.jpegIMG_4793.jpeg.fe09609e31173fb80cbfbb04c3797b2b.jpegIMG_4795.jpeg.f5ad405976654c55b15e25e930108a88.jpegIMG_4797.jpeg.de0c234c6568ba391e8e811b69b72cad.jpegIMG_4796.jpeg.8192d6604b1d202df74100c83dbf4293.jpegIMG_4799.jpeg.722951c2fe1b99748cd2843100b6e65b.jpegIMG_4800.jpeg.4ba4c855853381dc543b7e582624a4cc.jpegIMG_4801.jpeg.cdf32e1f3e8e563b98814574cc124532.jpegIMG_4818.jpeg.34a96bda1631886547129e41dadf9fdb.jpegIMG_4817.jpeg.8746a1927735c84867a36c8c39fb2c8f.jpegIMG_4816.jpeg.54bb141540fbd53a6fb0102da7673df6.jpegIMG_4798.jpeg.9c3fd815dfef83ec15fc7ff0c1f86644.jpeg

WOW, two very cool builds. I really like the match racer build, and you did a masterful job moving the f&r wheels forward, no easy task. I attempted to build both the Color Me Gone and Mr Unswitchable kits when I was about 10 years old. It was a tough task. Yes, bring them back. Congrats on your builds.
