I did get this puppy done in time for the KKOA show. I got personal compliment from George Barris and that was better than a trophy in my book! The build was fun and certainly stands out since you don't see many of these built up anymore. I started with an unbuilt kit from the USA Oldies series, molded in white and the box had NO bar codes....so I think it was the first issue. I lowered it about 4-5 inches in scale, added T170 tires from Modelhaus, AMT '65 Buick wire wheels, Machined lake pipes that have opening dumps! by Bob Dudek. She is painted in Kandy Organic Green by Black Gold over the top of Silver Metallic by Dupli Color. Did I mention i SHAVED the body? WOW....collectors must be happy!
