Need info on Ed Roth car.

[cobraman]

Hi guys. I'm working on the Model Master resin Jimmy Flintstone Zoomerang kit. I can not seem to find any photo's of this car. In my search on line I found only one drawing that showed the car blue or purple. I also found it is/was Acura powered and never ran very well. Also seems the actual name of the care was LA. Zoom. If anyone can steer me to a site that has photos that would be a big help. Thank you.

Thank you Carl. Thats pretty much all I could find. I guess it wasn't one of his most popular cars.

The L.A. Zoom was mentioned in Hot Rods by Ed Big Daddy Roth. Ed was not good with electronic engine management and at the time couldn't find anyone to get the powertrain up and running, so that pretty much doomed the project. I want to say it was designed by Thom Taylor, too, but I'd have to look that up to say for sure.

I saw a pic or two of it on the web a few years ago, and I want to say it was never finished by anyone.

Thanks Casey. I guess it really doesn't matter what the heck color I paint it.

I'd ask about it over at Dave's showrods site. I thought that some of JF's Testors labeled kits were Ed Newton's designs.
