restoman Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 Done! Loads of fun was had here... twisted body, chassis twisted opposite to the body, poor fitting glass, peeling chrome. I've been picking at it for well over a year. Built as a base model Bee: 383, column shift auto, bench seat, 8 3/4" rear, rally wheels and white walls. The way most of them were sold... My Grade 1 teacher had one very similar, it was my first intro to HP Mopars. Hers was the same light turquoise. I didn't care for the teacher but the car hooked me! Comments most welcome.
pack rat Posted January 21, 2019 Posted January 21, 2019 It's nice to see a "regular" Bee for a change. They weren't all powered by hemis or 6-packs and painted hi-impact colors.

tmb727 Posted January 22, 2019 Posted January 22, 2019 Elementary school teachers driving Mopars with bumblebee stripes and hood scoops - those were the days... Nice clean build of a real cool car. Well done.

Hmann68 Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 I’m really digging this!! This is what most of them were and that’s what is cool about yours! You did nice work and saw it through. I had the same problems on mine and packed it away. Where did you get the 383 emblems and air cleaner decal?
NYLIBUD Posted January 23, 2019 Posted January 23, 2019 Oh how I love MoparsGreat job,like the over spray on the bottom.

I think they came from Mike's Decals.
