    What should I do to this to make it a Green Arrowcar?

    Picked this up on ebay awhile ago for cheap - there's one on there now in a lot better shape for $50 shipped - but if there's desecration to a rare vintage toy to be done, it might as well be done on a beater.



    Obviously, I'm going to need to pad up the seatbacks, since neither 8" nor 9" GA could reach the wheel and still lean back in the seat.



    I'm thinking of using red electrical tape on the hood to convert the exclamation point into an arrow. And since red and green are the two dominant colors, I think what needs to happen is a red and green 'original appearance' GA custom as the driver. Beyond that I don't have any ideas.



    The leg spots are a little nonstandard as you can see:



    It has a waffle bottom:



    Was manufactured in...:

    It needs a transparent green windshield, and maybe a Green Arrow logo on the doors.

        I would get some stickers from thatbatmanguy.

            It could make a great Joker car,no need to worry about the arrow packs getting in the way.

              I have that same car, also for a custom project. But it ain't a GA car, you'll all be when you see it

                This car looks perfect! It seems more in scale w/the Mego GA.
                If a Mego figure of God did not exist, it would be necessary for EMCE to invent him.

                  Definitely post it when you're done. My next custom vehicle will be a Captain Americar.

                    That's a cool looking car. You could mount green arrow heads onto the rims, similar to the red bats on batmobile.. Also where the exclamation point on the hood you could insert arrow projectile sticking out ready to shoot.

                      Green Arrow... heads? Or green arrowheads? Bit of a difference there.

                        Arrowheads that are green in color, my friend.

                          I like the other mental picture better.

                            Why not an arrowhead centered on the front of the car-dividing up the front grille. Not lying down like the Bob Kane Batshield face on the Batmobile but rising up like its coming from the body. Also arrow wings over each of the rear bumpers. Maybe arrow cannons behind each shoulder of each seat? in the center an arrow holder so GA can draw arrows while he is driving.

                              You could always use micronaut launchers and darts, they would give it the "Mego touch"
