I love those zingers. I want to pick up all of the re-issues. _________________ "In any racing engine, the nearer you are to it disintegrating, the better it's performance will be"

I built one when I was a kid.
Several years back I built this one for BusNutBob. He had an original one in the box.
When the old kit was reissued it in 2010, I built one for myself. You can get them at [url]round2models.com[/url]
I would love to get a close-up look at that prototype. It would be interesting to know what Beetle model it was based on. _________________ We are striving for perfection, to make our cars run forever, if possible.

From my portable photo studio.
Valve covers say GURNEY EAGLE
Not wanting to keep Zingers to myself, I built these two for my brother-in-law who collects Mopars.
The one on the left is the "Little Red Zinger," which I found built up, and did a little detailing and added decals.
The one on the right is the Dodge A-100 van, which I found built up. Originally molded in red, it had a paint job consisting of a gold base, with a heavy coat of blue over the gold. (So thick you couldnt see the metallic effect the painter was going for.) After disassembly and stripping off the paint in brake fluid, I liked the patina look so much that I left it, just adding decals! _________________ We are striving for perfection, to make our cars run forever, if possible.

There was never a Zinger VW van model, but I'd sure like to see one! _________________ We are striving for perfection, to make our cars run forever, if possible.
