I have never felt a need to ask if any of my builds were TRaKable until now, as most everything I build is TRakable. On this one, no pics yet. It is my first build since 2011, too busy on my 1:1 Model A, but now its too cold in the shop.
... so I started building a '60s style dune buggy. They were kit cars, requiring a modification of a wrecked VW bug. They were sort of like the fiberglass T bucket kits of the same era, but sorta not. While growing up in my area of northern Calif., they were just cheap, fun, summertime cars, but often chromed up a bit in the engine compartment and with custom wheels, and occasionally kit bodies were ordered with metalflake gelcoat.
This build will have a custom paint job, chrome reverse wheels, the kit interior with the extra tuck and roll panels. ...but except for plug wiring the motor, it is pretty much a box build.
I looked back a few pages and saw one Meyer buggy discussion, but it is now closed and I did not see any clear conclusion on TRaKability. An answer either way is OK by me.
