Dog Catcher

Built by: Mike McMahon in Palatine, Illinois

I picked up this little gem at an estate sale. It was well preserved and completely unpainted. I decided to leave it the original molded color, so all I did was clean and polish all the plastic and paint some of the details like the cage door frames and engine details. The only missing parts were the goofy little Dog Catcher driver and one of the front lamp lenses.

The driver is a resin reproduction I picked up off the Internet and I fabricated a lens to match the other. Thanks to the sweet decals from Slippery Arts I was able to apply the final touches needed to complete this wacky ride. It's really a silly design but after a while, it kinda grows on you.
