 Wow.  It's been years since I've seen that Road Runner design, had forgotten about it.  Thanks for the memory trip.   

[Hepcat]

Are you sure it wasn't this one instead?

Mr. Gasser that I finished building yesterday. It was modeled after the cover of Amazing Vehicular Modeler Vol. 1.

Cool! Out of what did you build the base?

Like many modelers I collect the odd bits of plastic this and that which I think I might be able to use later. I had just such a plastic hemisphere in my box o' bits that I used for the half 8 Ball and that was attached to a small round wooden plaque.

Here are three books that are a must for "Big Daddy" Roth enthusiasts:

Why no one made a kit of the Yellow Fang dragster is beyond me....they did near EVERY dragster between the model companies!

I saw this movie before its theatrical release at the Toronto Film Festival in 2007.



Although a bit superficial to a hard core Roth fan who wants all the inside details, the movie was still well presented and good fun.

What I hated though was the other people in attendance at the theatre. They were all artsy types who were film buffs as opposed to "Big Daddy" Roth fans. I really had nothing in common with them.

Hepcat you have an AMAZINGLY cool collection! Will you please be, like, my uncle or something? Haha! And Weldonmc you are a true artist!
I wanted to share my Finkster stuff-
My Drag Nut mask I bought new a few years ago:

1991 Collegeville Rat Fink mask and costume with box:

The usual suspects: Brother Fink (a lil banged up), GID key chain, Rad Rods figure I got on the card at a local pop culture shop for $12, Funko GID bobbler, Mother's Worry that came in an auction lot with some Red Baron parts. Coincidently, the helmet fits perfectly! Haha! The spike I made out of a twisted up Hersey Kiss wrapper.    And for my Fink I did the traditional color scheme, painted with Testors metalflake lacquer rattle cans. The pictures honestly don't do the sparklyness justice.

The Fink figure cruisin' in his 1953 Mattel Dream Car  :

Some Mr. Gasser bits I'm sure I can do something with...

Most of you have probably seen these cool tote bags on the electronicBay.  Came from china and probably isn't legit, but for less than $10 it's a sweet beach/ car show bag

Lastly I had an old Fink shirt from when I was little. Because it didn't fit me anymore I cut it into a back patch for my jacket and fancied it up with an "Our Lady" framing done with a 3 pack of metallic Sharpie markers.


Hope you cats dig!

Here is an iron on and a t-shirt design you might like Weldonmc.  I myself being from Florida, Don Garlits and all things FL have a special place in my heart. I snagged these offline with the hopes of one day getting them printed into sweet shirts!

That costume is wild cool!

Oh I do! I've never seen a Rat Fink painted in metal flake colours and it's rad. Good job!
