Can someone refresh my memory, I've just started one, and am wondering if it is one of the TRaK-able show-rods? It will be a close replica of Barris' original, as it appeared in the April '65 issue of Hot Rod, perhaps with different paint. Out of curiosity, would the other variations from the AMT kit 'Surf Hearse' and 'Sport Roadster' also be TRaK-able?

the way it is here..I would say no. I have thought almost..it could be if done just right..but you would have to pretty much have a completely different car.
The biggest problem is it's not recognizable from a real car...it's a complete show rod.

This is a good spot to drop a quick note or ask for help. If you are in a bad mood, this isn't the right spot to drop feelings. Thanks for understanding!
