Eventually :mrgreen:

The problem with building something retro is that everything is expensive...I got lucky on the body. I didn't see finding a cox body that cheap so I was not even looking..and found it. Not sure what size figure would fit, something like a GI Joe is too big (the vintage one) so we will see

I was watching it, but really didn't need another! Looks like a solid car and the body is in great shape!

I just wish I could find the book that I saw this in. I thought it was "completely cars" but it was not. If anyone finds it please let me know!
