    This is going much faster than the real thing.
Frame off ,interior cleaned, windows out , it even has a door halfway falling off. Talk about how realistic they made thing back when.  :FUNNY:

I would have been better if it the rear wheel camber problem.

  It’s good to laugh!   For $4.99 and free shipping it was already worth it.  It stunned my daughter when I told her I bought another car that needed paint. :FUNNY:

It looks like it has a front wheel camber problem. You'll probably need to check the toe-in!

   No blasting required!

I thought about painting...nickel plating to use as a keychain or a keyless entry remote.

  No painting, nickel plated and polished.

  Straightened the axle, removed and repaired door,  Thanks Certified for posting the pics, I’ll get around to adding the key ring soon.

    Painted the interior and worked up a good windscreen replacement.
Now I need to find some HO scale people.. and a fewer horses.
