[glow=red,2,300]POWERFUL and it has a BiG BITE TOO!!![/glow] The Engine came from a MPC 20th Scale Pop Corn Wagon. The transmission and bottom were cut off...  The Supercharger and Scoop are from a Monogram Super Fuzz Kit. The headers are from a Zinger Kit.  ... ;D |

It looks like the King is up to his old tricks and doing quite well I might add. Another beauty!
Ira, did that bug catcher come with the teeth?

[glow=red,2,300]COLLECTORS...[/glow] I cut 2 pieces of plastic tubing, with one end cut on a 45 degree angle.  I painted them Aluminum and glued them in place!  I am playing with some cotton, to see if it will work for exhaust...  |

[glow=red,2,300]BODY DETAILS!!![/glow] The Rear Bumper/Tail lights were kept stock, but painted a little differently. The Front Bumper/Grill had little Bullet Tail lights added, that were painted flat black.  I needed more "Glueing Surface" on the Rear Bumper and the Engine. So I added a piece of sheet plastic inside the Bumper and Engine. This allowed me to attach the Bumper, very easily, without getting glue on the paint job!  Here are the "Super Fuzz" Tires and Smokey Base attached to the Gasser!!! The Bumper and Headlights are in place. I painted the area behind the clear headlight lenses white...  Here is the Rear Bumper in place. I painted the Smokey Base Flat White, then I put on a coat of Black "The Detailer" Wash. I wiped off most of the Wash with a damp paper towel.  |

[glow=red,2,300]GASS MAN IS STYLIN' NOW!!![/glow] I painted a T-Shirt for Mr. Gasser with 3 coats of white acrylic paint...  You know it had to be a Roth Shirt! The Rat Fink decal is from the Beatnik Bandit II. Before and after applying the decals I sprayed him with Testors Dullcoat.  Added a #8 Decal to the 8 Ball...  |

Wow! That T-shirt really brought Mr. Gasser to life and the Rat Fink on the back, perfect. This is coming along nicely.
