Funky little build! Reminds me of a little battery operated Baja bug I had as a kid with a flower on the hood. It would head toward the wall, flip over, and return repeat! Sweet looking mobile, very nice.

Beautifully done, David!

I actually built this in 2012 and for some reason, never posted it here on the MCM forum. I think I just didn't like the way the photos turned out. They were pretty bad, but I recently purchased a newer version of Corel PaintShop and was able to fix them up quite nicely.

So, after a rather lengthy delay here the photos of my AMT Meyers Manx.

The old 36 HP Doghouse with some added detail.

 

Some chassis detail.

 

The flower decals are from the Revell VW Bus kit.

Instead of the plastic nerf bars provided by the kit, I fashioned a set out of paperclips.

 

I eventually added a license plate... and removed the water spot on the rear window.

 

I made a wooden deck to go in the area where the "rear seat" was supposed to be. I remember seeing one like this long ago.

 

Dash detail... and some pretty blue shock absorbers. I think they came from K-Mart.

 

As always, thanks for taking the time to look and please feel free to comment.

That is a really cool build

Very well done David , the black underbody really improves the looks of these a lot !  Great job !  Now if we could just get a decent windshield frame for these kits . . .

Thank you for your comment Bob, I appreciate it.

What's wrong with the windshield frame? I thought it was decent enough.
