Finally finished this one up yesterday. I built it from a bunch of parts I had left over from a previous box art resto I did a while back. I didn't buy anything for it, just used what I had on hand. It was a challenge and a lot of fun watching it come together. B)

I used an original windshield assembly in as found condition as a nod to this model's humble beginnings.

Thanks for taking a look. Comments welcome.

I love projects, rescues, and restos, and especially resto projects using only leftover junk on hand. Fabulous work, and model on!

Nice save Ron. Now all we need is another repop.884f76a078160acd8545cf1f2c59cf28.jpg:D Yeah, I know, but NOT this one.

Beautiful recreation Ron!

It's remarkable that someone like RepMin has never made a transkit for the later reissues. Or that Modelahus doesn't at least offer the steelies and tires...

Thanks guys! I appreciate your good words. As I've said before and I'll say again....I'd like to see Revell reissue this kit in original form. Once that's done tool up the specific parts to do a "Little Drag" and a "Little Rod". Probably to much to ask for a "Little Tub"?

Anyone agree? Would you buy one or all? I darn sure would!

Being a huge hot rod fan, I would certainly buy a few of those. I believe I have the original body with turtle deck in my box of old buildups although I kinda prefer a pickup box. But having a few extra rods in the shop is like a comfortable blanket on a cold night....just feels right! When my health improves, I 'll be out there making some purchases!
