I should call this Cuss'em Koffin! I had the kit, thought I'd just do a box build,,,,,then I changed the tires and wheels,,,,,,then I decided not to do anything else. Oh heck, that's the story of my life. I didn't shorten the cage enough and I darned sure wasn't going to tear it apart. I once said "if I build it, I'll post it, good or bad.........Ta Dah!

The thing I like about that kit is the fact that it has very few parts and you can build one in a couple of days. I like yours!!

Turned out looking good to me.  I've never built one but I've got some of these in my stash so I may one for you know what's and grins.

If you all recall, I tried to do a Community Build of this kit "back in the day" because it was so simple and yet only a few attempted to build one. Thanks again Rett for building this car. - David

Real nice looking job Rett. When I see a model with a paint color I am not too familiar with I am always interested in finding out the manufacturer and the paint color. The dark maroonish/purplish color is quite unique. What did you use for paint?
