Orange Hauler +1

[patw]

Presently on the bench, a recent ebay UK purchase. I opened the box on delivery to find two bodies in there!







Now............ What to put in in the grey one after I've chosen the new colour? A V8 or a rear mounted Corvair or perhaps just a simple old VW Beetle 4 pot motor? Tee hee hee!

That body has always intrigued me. I can see a Porsche or Subaru flat engine in the rear, open up that flat deck bottom there, and run a turbo or two on it. Wonder how the body fits a Tamiya VW chassis, or Fujimi 356 Porsche?

Good score Pat. Nice kit with the only 24th scale Nailhead that I know of. Worth the price of admission just for that and wheel and tire set!

Its got a nailhead Buick engine? I didn't know that, I thought it was some kind of generic GM product or at best a SBC. Could we see the engine parts and/or the assembly instructions? If indeed there is a nailhead, this goes to top of my search list.

Yep. Here you go for proof...the one out the Orange Hauler kit I have....such as it is. Looks like a NailHead to me, with a Dynaflo as a bonus.

Never seen that! and it looks like it has spark plug covers there on the side. Too kool! I need one for my nailhead collection now.

More chrome on the upper engine than I like, but a clean job thus far. Good show!

Here it is finished.....
