I figured it was the base of the snorkel. You've already shown incredable model making skills, so I guess no one is shocked to see the model is moving right along. I can't wait to see the finished product.

I think at this rate I'll have more hours in the model than anyone has in the real thing.
Rear bumper takes shape.

i noticed it the other day also. amazed at your skill. I had/have no patience when it comes to model building and when i was in my 7yo-early teens my Brother and I would build them and paint them to the best ability and blow them up with firecrackers after displaying them for a week or so. Wish i had some of the models today. Pre firecracker of course.
And to stay on topic, if you can build it and replicate the smell that is probably on the inside of ol' Snork i think you will be raised upon the highest pedestal!

The Baron has carpet and fur from Snorkelstang. The two most important ingredients for creating Snorkelstank!

Thanks Big Al. You keep me motivated.
Back seat fitted.
Question: I haven't seen pictures of the car with the T-tops removed. Is there a fixed central bar or does the whole thing lift off Targa style? |

Blue Baron,
There is a fixed central bar where the T-tops come together. It is about an inch wide.
I'll see if I have a pic.
Thanks,
Big Al |

I tried to keep Snorky from hooking up with this gal, but he couldn't help himself (or should I say, he did help himself)? You be the judge!
