I bought my 71 bus a little over a year ago and have driven it pretty much as is (with some minor repairs and care).
Now I am ready to start restoration / customization.
I want to do a Mego Jokermobile BUT -the design is too simplistic. I want to keep some elements and work in some other classic images.
The body will be a similar green color. The roof will be white with an image painted on it. Right now I am planning to paint the Joker card concept from Jerry Robinson. I do no have a pop top. Most people will not see the top because it is above most of our eye level.
The front I think I will go withe the Mego Smile -but I may use a red target with Jokers face as seen on the Mego Rims(basically the 'O' from the Joker #1 issue)
The rear I think the whole Joker title from Joker #1.
On the side some "Pow" "Bam" things like the Jokermobile but actually fonts from the 66 show.
I actually have a couple dents that i was going to fix but now I think I am going to paint POWs over them.
The white flower I want to incorporate somewhere.
I will post ics here as I go.
Does anyone have a good front shot of the Mego bus?
Does anyone have one for sale?????? It was the one thing I was hoping to find at the Meet that I didn't.
