"The Drapoel Express"

[curt raitz]

Had an AMT '65 Ford Galaxie 500XL, a sheet of Slixx Leopard Flame decals, leftover '65 Dodge Metallic Red paint from Scalefinishes and some fancy wheels&tires laying around...

Here's what happened when I threw them all together:

Looks good the color really fits well with the flames and interior and the motor looks good

Wow! So simple but to so effective. Very cool!

I don't know, Curt...Leopard print always reminds me of Peg Bundy.

Too bad that show is over. You could send pics to the producers to do an episode where Al was having a custom car built for himself, but Peg convinced the builder to add a couple of her design cues to the build. Too funny!!

Very cool!

Love the seats and paint.

Neat idea!

Nice looking build. That is a great looking box on wheels just the way I like it.

Very nice, at least now I know what color to do mine in

[Foxer]

That really looks good, Curt. Nice touches really bring that '65 out.

My Dad had a metallic green '65 Galaxy and all I remember is how it would tilt about 45 degrees on every corner.

Nice, clean build. However, the burning leopards might upset peta . Great job.
