This was another one of those "Scores" where I got the built up with the box and extra parts. I wanted it because it had the original Halibrand wheels. This was the original 1964 issue and I am guessing it had been built since that time as the tires had eaten into the wheels I wanted. I was only able to save two of them. I was able to break this one down and manage to save everything. Now you guys can pry, sand and power tool all you want but I have found this stuff the be the best gloo bomb un-builder there is. Get this stuff in the joint and in a few minutes it is un-built.
Here is a few of the pieces after un-building and a little soak in the purple pond.
Again, with some time, paint and a little care along with some extra parts, I have a restored original. Now all I need to do is finish the trailer and a 53 Ford pickup and I have everything but the box art to the just re-issued AMT Grand Prix set. This sure does beat $55 plus shipping for that re-issue and I can re live my childhood on the cheap.
