Description
This bargain-bin mystery van had everything working against it. Thick body panels, rough casting flaws, brittle glass, and proportions that barely resembled the original.
After smoothing the body, filling unwanted panel lines, repainting the classic blue, white, and red stripes, and recreating the iconic cartoon graphics, this forgotten diecast becomes a Mystery Machine worthy of solving cases.
Sometimes the weirdest castings make the most satisfying transformations.
