Then it's bit like this Finnish VW Bug that started racing on the late 70's. It won Finnish Championcip on Street Altered category and left a bunch of V8 powered American Cars behind.

The build looks very good! I always enjoy to following your builds, Ira. These Car-Toon cars are something that I would like to build also. These are fun and you do very nice job with every one of these.

Thanks Nikko!

COMING TOGETHER!!!

I positioned the interior in the body and used a few drops of Zap-A-Gap-Green Label to hold them together. I added a few more drops where needed and then I used Aleene's Tacky Glue to fill all of the gaps.

Next I glued the 911 Engine in with Testors Red Label. I added a small piece of screen and a Porsche decal to the Engine...

that engine might be a little much for the car it might just lose control if you step on it.

WHERE'S THE MuD????

Getting ready for a MuD Bath!

I made a half circle of Masking Material and put it on the Windshield. I'll take it off after we go through the MuD, and it should leave a Nice Clean area that the Wiper cleaned off!

I also cut a strip of brass screen and put in in the Roof Scoop...

[bryan_m]

that is so cool Ira!

the screen in the scoop looks great, cant wait to see it dirty!
