Motown,
I really enjoy reading your posts, and no I'm not trying to blow smoke those organ tailpipes. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
Barris made some crazy cars in the 60's for T.V. didn't he?
What an imagination. There should a website for his work!
Could you post the selling price when done?
Maybe you'll own it.

My memories about my early days with my '56 Chev 2 Dr Post was
Filling the rust holes with Galvanized mesh & Bondo! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif[/img]

Rob, and the bondo was called Black Majic, harder then Hell to sand. Bet you did the headlight eyebrows? I will take some photos tommorow at the auction, maybe Hawaii Jeff will post them for me? Rumour has it there are going to be a few surprises there in the way of Muscle cars going on the block. West Michigan Auto Auction, 100th st and 131, 10Am, Moline Michigan, just south of Grand Rapids.

68z, you got two shows mixed up, Uncle Fester and Morticia were from the Addams Family, in the Munsters it was Lilly and Marilyn. Somehow I suspect you were waiting on one of the BabyBoomers to catch that.

If you buy that thing, I'm coming over for a beer. I agree, that is the coolest car ever built! What a great idea, and I loved it ever since the first time I ever saw it. Somehow I think the Clary's will have a soft spot in there heart for that car. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

Seems like CNN finds it interesting too. This was on today's CNN home page:

I didn't think his soft spot was in his heart! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/haha.gif[/img]

Good Luck Matt.
Get the Grandpa Goggles with it too. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
I like that car,but always prefered the Munster Coach first.Love the way that thing would pop a wheelie!
Al Lewis (Grandpa) is still with us and was just here in Chicago recently.You need to get a picture of him in the Coffin Car one last time.I don't think he has much time left? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

You're right Motown I screwed up
I was always bad with names [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]
Oh well, at least I got a couple right! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

The Bondo we used was called "White Lightning" it was tough to sand as well. We were to dumb to use those swiss cheese files, it was those disc ones you put in your Dad's drill to burn it out! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

A picture of the car with Grandpa Munster would be great but,
you'd have to get him made up!! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
