Ed "NEWT" Newton had done a drawing for the letters page of Choppers of a trike he called the "Mail Box", but it was originaly called the "Booze Wagon" for a special three-wheeler edition of Ed Roth`s California Choppers Magazine.

Around 1965, the time "Mail Box" was completed, Ed "Big Daddy" Roth was really into trikes.

Originally built by Jim "Jake" Jacobs, Jim lost interest when it came to the body work and traded it to Roth to finish off.

The original "Mail Box" was powered by a Crosley four cylinder engine.

Ed "Big Daddy" Roth's Mail Box Chopper kit was originally released in 1972 under the same name, in MPC's 1/25 Scale Cycle Series, Kit number 1-2400.

This is my Version of this kit, hope you like it.
