Peter Lombardo Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 After posting the SWC cars, It got me thinking about the Roth cars that I mentioned......so I thought I would do a quick post on them. There is nothing too special about those cars, the three were built basically box stock with the usual additions like spark plug wires and fuel lines. Tweety Pie, painted with Tamiya purple pearl raddle can spray whicle the Beatnick Bandit and Outlaw have a Mopar pearl white finish with the kit decals......like I said, pretty typical builds Now the last car is my interpretation of Norm Graboski's famous Kookie T featured back in the 1960's on the TV show, 77 Sunset Strip.......where the car hop, Ed (Kookie) Burns was driving this car. I made a few changes to the car to fit my own tastes. Here is the real car, and here is my version of it.......... I started with the Tweety Pie 2 kit, and used Modelhus wheels and tires but I did my wheels in red to contrast the blue body color.....I used 1960 Ford dog dish hub caps and then continued the flames over the cowl center area. I did not care for the Graboski exhaust end tip the way it came up in the back, so I left that off. Since I did not have the same carb. inlet trupets I went with a generic round inlet Thats it, thanks for looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
