crazyjim Posted December 19, 2013 Posted December 19, 2013 I got a free Elvis Presley Meyers Manx. had a set of paddle tires and a corvair engine, so I put them together in this little puppy. Don't deceived by the license plates! This puppy was built to play in the sand. The interior was kept to a minimum so it would be easy to blow out the sand. The custom side pods were mastered by Don Garrett and are available only through Crazy Scale Auto Parts. I used HOK light teal pearl for paint.
Sixties Sam Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 Very nice! I like the Corvair engine conversion. Nice details! Sam
Greg Cullinan Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 Looks awesome. Nuttin crazy about that.
slusher Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 Beautiful color and paint Jim. Super build..
Jordan 191 Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 That's so cool! What kit did the front wheels come from? They fit really well too.
PatW Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 Hey Jim. I like the side pods and your bomber seats, I fitted yours to my recent Manx build. Yours looks great Jim. I've just been reading an article in Volksworld Magazine here in the UK, showing both a short wheelbase and standard one. Keep up the good work with your superb resin supplies. I think if I had a real one down on the beach I would drill a fews holes in the floorpan and just use a hose to wash out all the sand and rubbish!
Brianl Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 Good stuff! - really like the six & the tyres - Manx's have so much character, you can never run out of things to do with them Brian
crazyjim Posted December 20, 2013 Author Posted December 20, 2013 Thanks so much folks. This was a fun build. The front wheels are out of the parts box but I think they may have come from the double dragster kits from 40 years ago.
realgone58 Posted December 20, 2013 Posted December 20, 2013 Jim, you may have convinced me to built another one of these things! I love it! Great color, tires look cool, side pods are beautiful, and your bomber seats look perfect in there.
