Monogram 1934 Dusenberg SJ (Slot Car kit)
This is an ORIGINAL ISSUE (1964) Monogram Dusenberg SJ Slot Car kit that I'm building for a gentleman in Lumberton, NC. This, according to him, is the HOLY GRAIL OF SLOT CAR KITS! And he handed it to me to build? Is he nuts? I'm afraid to touch it, but I'll do my best. Per the customer's orders, the kit is to be built "Like it would have been built back in 1964." So there will be no paint on the body or any other parts except the driver and the plate he sits on. Minimum clean-up of mold lines, and no filling of molding flaws, which are amazingly few for a kit from 1964. The original chrome is bright, and the Blue plastic body (And all the other parts) are like brand new. He paid $400 for this kit almost a decade ago, and can't build it due to arthritic fingers, so he was sent my way. This should be a very easy build, the parts count is low, and there's very little painting. I plan on polishing the (Aftermarket) brass rims, and polishing up the plastic body to get a good shine out of it. Now wish me luck, if I screw this up, he'll skin me alive and feed me to the sharks!
