Interesting kit.

I've seen worse kits but it will be a loooong project!

Neat kit but I think he is over priced by at 50% or more. Rare doesn't always equal $$$$

The back half looks pretty cool with the targa if you ignore the Dino relations. The front half not so much.

Needs a fixed roof...

Or, a barf bag.

How structurally sound is that thing? Most of the front of the car is missing with a flimsy fiberglass front on a hinge...

I think there was a Dino gt based upon a beetle pan which had a full body, eagle gt I think, looks better

PatW an active member here had the eagle molds, but I believe he sold them a few years ago.

IIRC Eagle went bankrupt in the mid 80's and Pat's dad was owed money by Eagle's owner so he was "paid" with the molds.
Or something like that....

Being an original member is making me feel old.

It looks like one of our members took it home.
Under other circumstances I would have been interested, so
I look forward to seeing it completed.

Wow member #26. You were one of the founding fathers!!

There's quite a few of us original members still very active on the board, but I wouldn't call myself a "founding father". I had nothing to do with the site creation.
Sir Andy did the lions share of getting this site going and is in my mind is the founding father of this site. One of the few still here after all these years.
