    Custom "Speed Racer", RACER X

    Cheers, gang, and Happy New Year! I've missed the Mego community! I've been away from customizing for months (no real excuse, just life I suppose LOL), but I'm back and with several wonderful projects in the works that I am excited about and with which I will certainly need advice from you, the experts.

    Here's my first offering for the year- A stab at capturing the Classic "Speed Racer" RACER X! All thoughts and opinions are welcome.

    Nice, retro and Mego. Surprised FTC hasn't taken a shot at doing this line. Really cool.

      Oh, man, he makes that Kresges/Kmart smell billow up in my brain. Beautiful.

              That looks just like something mego would have done, if they had done it.
