Okay, all done. A throw-back to the early 70s cartoon, maybe just a close relation to Speed Buggy... Speedy Bug ... okay, not so clever, but I think that back then, they would have done it just that way.
Put together from the Revell 1:32 VW Buggy kit, with some chopping. Parts box headlamps with button lenses and craft irises. The kit headlights became the tail lights. Rear tires are from a Vandal, and the fronts are from a diecast Mario/Luigi cart. The chassis was closed off with sheet styrene to mimic his cartoon cousin.
Pen bits for the exhaust. Parts bin tranny.
The sun came out, so he's catching some rays...
Thanks for lookin!
