Grasshopper

[High octane]

This is the cover car for the Oct. 1959 issue of Hot Rod Magazine which Monogram Models had copeid and added a few parts of their own such as fenders, head & tail lights, windshield, up-top, and rear bumper. They called their kit the Green Hornet. I used Testors Mystic Emerald for the body, Spaz-Stix for the wheel backs, vinyl inserts for the interior over white, and added a dash panel w/gauges, as well as screening for the grille opening.

Very nice replica of the original car. I love that old kit, I have tried that chassis under a bunch of bodies.
