Looks good Joe.
I also built this one as a kid, and need to go back and try and do it right.

Nice work on this classic. Skeletons are just the coolest, mix them with chrome and a big engine and you can't go wrong.
I too have never built this kit. I have had a gluebomb with parts missing that I used for other builds. I'll do one someday.

Spray paint the guy flat black. Then get out the white flat. I use acrylics from Michael's. After you dip the brush in white, run it across a papertowel a bit until barely any comes off after a while. Then brush the skeelton. It works great! Thanks to Fred's teachings, I was able to do a Franky that way in shades of green and he came out great! It takes a try or two but you'll get the hang of it pretty quick.
Good job!

Nice job, one of my all time favorite Show Rods, plus there's a lot of kit-bash potential with this kit.

My pleasure. Like I said, Fred left a thread here on how to dry-brush these things. I tried it on my Franky and it worked out fine. I am working on a 1/6 Joker now.
Take care,
