Got this in a body junk lot, painted (very poorly) in black paint.... stripped it, re-coated with Testors transparent red and by some mircale... I had spare chrome parts from another lot I bought 6 yrs ago, pulled a chassis from the junk pile and added RRR rims...

WHAMO! a new car for the collection

it still needs a back bumper and I'm trying to decide of I wnat to put the little red wagon decals on it

That's cool. What was the deal with that front axle? And also the rear pin... :confused:

the front end is one of the steerable tyco s guide pins and which comes with the rear guide pin.
if you look closer, you'll see the front has 2 pins on it with the axle inbetween... it moves the front wheels with the pin so it looks like the car is really being steered when it goes around turns.
