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.

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.

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.

^This.

Nicely done. Very clean all around. :)

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?

They were on a sheet I got years ago. I think they came from Mike's Decals.

Agreed 100%. What is that color - Tamiya TS-54?

It's Q3 Light Turquoise for Scale Finishes. Awesome colour and very nice to spray.
