Looks like you got a lot of extra parts in your kit :D

What's it called? Gorgo's Gogo-mobile?

Excellent work!!!

Thanks Guys ! I figured it was time Gorgo got his own Monster Rod :)...I had a couple of car models, The Depth Charger and the Royal Rail, I got them as gifts and I'm not really a car guy, but in Gorgos case I made an exception, soooo with a bunch of Glue, 5 minute epoxy and a lit candle to heat my exacto knife blade... I was off on an adventure...Now he'll sit right beside my Godzilla's Go Cart... until the men in white come for me....or was it the Men in Black??? Who says you still can't have fun in this hobby... hell I felt like I was twelve all over again

Really great stuff here.
Love the imagination behind this piece, and the execution is just perfect.
And the paint just tops it all off.

Thanks guys :) I really appreciate your kind comments !
I threw in a little nod to Monarch by placing their logo Monarch Butterfly, I cut out of the instruction sheets, over top of the Royal Crown and another nod to Aurora by using the exhaust tailpipes from the Wolfmans' Wagon.
I love kit bashing

Hey Guys... Mike Scott (on one of the forums I visit) came up with a couple of suggestions for names for this creation..."Gorgo's Gasser", or "Gorgo's Gear Box"? ....Which name do you guys like???

Denis, kudos on a cool idea and excellent rendering! I'd say go with Gorgo's Gasser.

Thanks Stoney and Night Owl and Night owl, Scott Mckillop agrees with you...
I asked Scott Mckillop what he thought and he replied :
: "Yeah your gorgo gasser looks awesome! Certainly deserves a write up or an award"
So that nails it....I'm calling this kitbash... Gorgos' Gasser

Very Nice! I like how it fits in just like it was a regular production kit from back in the day!
