Very nice clean job.
This is a very ornate model and I never could understand the intake manifold. It's just a plain block of gold plastic. What was Barris thinking?

It was just a cover over the carb, and was made to go along with the plumbing theme. Barris (and others) used to do this on a lot of older show rods/cars of the day. The Monkee Mobile had a dummy blower over the carb too.
Great build!!! It's a weird show rod, but it's kinda cool, and another welcome reissue. Look at how many people bought one or two!!!

Great build Gerry!
Someone brought up the idea of putting a skeleton in the tub.
Give it some Fred Mellini attitude to it Some blood...etc etc etc.
I may be going that route on this model.

Very well done but man that is a whole lot of gold to look at, but even with saying that I still got to get one for myself.
