This is my HillBilly Hot Rod. This was part of a bunch of bodies I bought cheap & it was thrown in for free. I retained the previous owners paint job but fabricated new fenders in the rear & added side pipes.The interior is from a Lindberg line kit car I converted to t-jet power.Tinted w/s was made from an old casstte case & tinted with magic marker.Convertible boot is resin cast off of AFX "Thing".Chassis HP-7. Fortunately at the last HO-LI Beers show I was able to pick up a packet of grille/headlight assemblies to replace the broken one in front

Reminds me of a taxi I saw when we were in Maui. The taxi was green instead of red.

You are coming up with some neat pieces, Neal!

It's good to see you are thinking outside the box...
(In your case it's more like the Nascar oval!)

I like this--a clean execution :thumbsup: :thumbsup:



Cheers..

That is a great looker for sure. I think I'd might try to do the BH custom. A little styrene and paint, you'd be ready to go. Then put her on fleabay. :devil: rr
