AMT KooKoo Kar by Pontiac
Jack.
I picked this one up on Ebay a
couple of years ago. It had been built in the '70's,it was complete and
unpainted,but had started to fall apart.
Pulling it apart was fairly
simple,almost everything was salvagable,except for the clear clock face,which
had been drowned in glue.
Once everything was cleaned up,I started
painting. Most things could be brush painted,with only the chassis,roof and
headlights being sprayed. I used about 2 dozen different colours and shades
on this thing. It's a detailers dream! There are lots of dry-brushed
highlights and heaps of woodgrain.
The only mods I made were replacing the clock face
with clear styrene with new numerals added to look like they
are sliding off the face and I made a new distributor and added plug
leads
This kit was fantastic to build,Koo Koo
Klyde,Mickey Moose,all the wild details! Even the box art and the hillarious
descriptions are worthy!
I hope the molds are found for at least one of the
cars in this series. They go together easily and can look great when they're
detailed.
