Bug Bomb resto

[donculley]

I found this glued mess on Ebay a few years ago . It was really dusty and had about a tube of glue used to build it. The roof was buckled from the amount used .The back window post blew apart while I was cutting out the glass .It was brush painted some sort of clear green craft paint which was a real B*tch to remove. The worst part was that after I had all the work done and it was painted I dropped the body on the carpet while polishing it and it literally shattered like an egg ! So basically I had to restore it twice . The rear view mirror is a shifter from the parts box . Its still one of my favorite Deals' designs.

Thanks guys ! Its because of all the restorations I saw going on in the C.C. that got me to try a rebuild, and now I enjoy restoring stuff more than building a new kit ! Right now I have 4 built kits on my bench waitng to be restored.
