Monkeemobile, building a vintage Kit for a friend
My friend dug this out of storage, and asked me to build it because he had a stroke and lost hand dexterity. I was honored, and thrilled to do this for him. I took my time with it, and took days off when I was frustrated. It is not the kind of kit that I am used to, and I had to improvise a few things. It turned out great and I am very proud of the finished model.

You should be proud John it looks great. That model brings back a lot of memories, if my memory serves me right it started out as a Pontiac?

You are right Tom, it was a modified GTO.

Can’t stop monkeying around…I agree with Tom B – you ought to be proud as helping a friend is a noble and this is a lovely build that makes you smile. And that, my friend, is a wonderful thing.
