This kit appears to be a tribute by Von Franco to the great pinstriper of the 60s Von Dutch,the original designer of the flying eye,who done a lot of custom work with Ed Roth 👍😎

Very cool looking kit sir be watching for updates

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

I'll brush paint most of the fittings eyeball and arms and spray the car body nearer the finish date.🤔 Hopefully the weather will have improved. We've gone from torrential rain to freezing cold and threats of heavy snow from Norway 😅

[@seamybmw]

Pretty neat looking kit there Pete and very interesting subject some beefy tyres with it also i be watching this one with interest👍👍

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

Those rear tyres are massive, I wish I had a better model to use them on. I think the model would look better with deformed cartoon wheels like the Rat Fink kits

[@greybeardmodels]

That looks a fun build Pete, I’m sure you’ll make a great job of it 👍😎

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

Yes,I think it'll be great fun,Bob 👍😃

[@stig800]

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

It looks a real fun build. So cool👍😎

[@DB.scale.models]

That looks fun to make Pete.😊

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

I'm sure it will be and a bit of a break from detailing 🤔

[@moparnut6286]

Grew up as a monster fan with odd rods and Roth... Von Franco, weird Oh's.. Will be watch you create this one for sure happy building Peter!.. Great choice.

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

I think it's pretty cool,John and should be a fun break👍😎

[@GeocacherFlagg2007]

Oh yeah that will be a fun build. I have a couple from that line on my wall too. Now I want to break one out and work on it. Looking forward to seeing the finished model.

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

It really looks fun👍😎

[@kyledehartsscaleworks]

Holy cow Pete. What a super cool and fun build this is going to be. Just great.

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

Yes Kyle. It really does look like a fun break from the detailed builds I usually do😃👍

[@kyledehartsscaleworks]

@@petesmodelcarcustoms584 absolutely Pete and I can’t wait to see where you take this one.

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

Apart from spraying car body,I'll brush paint a lot of it in the cartoon style of the box art. I will drill out the carb intakes,add spark plug leads,fuel pipes and throttle linkage and change the headlamps for some chrome ones from my spares. Delete the metal front axle as I'm not going to play with it afterwards 🤣🤣🤣

[@kyledehartsscaleworks]

@@petesmodelcarcustoms584 yes, that sounds like it’s going to be excellent!

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

It'll make a nice break from detailing

[@goforitpainting]

Have a great build.

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

Looks good fun👍😎

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

That will be a fun build Pete 👀👍😉

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

I'm sure it will,Tim 👍😎

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

@@petesmodelcarcustoms584 I started that kit about 20 yrs ago and never finished it. Now I'm wondering if I still have it.

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

@@THROTTLEPOWER Was this kit issued in the 70s or 80s originally,Tim?

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I'm not sure when it was originally issed Pete.

[@modelcarmadness5119]

I've never seen or heard of that kit before, looks pretty simple and basic. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it.

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

It's pretty neat,Ted. I'd only seen the Von Franco Willys coupe before. I will make a few detail changes and put on some chrome headlamps but I want to keep the cartoon effect of it🤡👍😅

[@dvdw_graphics_crafts]

it's a different kind of model kit i feel. 😊

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

A wild and wacky design😀👍😎

[@scalemodeloutlaw]

As im watching your video i googled that von franco there is a hole series of his kits now i gotta get that collection lol

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

Wow,is there really👍😀. That's got to be cool👍😎. This was an expensive kit here,but I'll keep an eye 👁out for them and maybe get another for next year's build too👍😃😎

[@scalemodeloutlaw]

There not bad here bout 35 american each

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

They would be about 55 bucks here.as it was £40 (That's British pounds sterling). There was only 2 of these kits available,when I got this one,and not many people stock Moebius kits at all.😣. I'll see what I can find over the course of time🤔😉

[@petesmodelcarcustoms584]

I've seen the 'Stoned Hoods and Crooks' Willys gasser. That is more expensive than the eyeball one😢

[@scalemodeloutlaw]

Thats a good bit higher then what there selling for here
