Popeye restores real life cars so really a ringer … 🙂

He looked at the great Aroldo Pongetti’s custom of Mater and decided to make his own … probably while eating breakfast 🙂

Take Mater apart … okay, I think I can probably do this ….

Uuhhhh, ahhhhhh, uhhhhh, ahhhh, um … aaarggggghhhhhh …. sports hernia! I’m out!

Here it is finished … Details?

“Well it’s not quite Aroldo…but, the kids love it and it works great! If you look closely at the undercarriage of Aroldo’s Jiggy Mater, he actually creates a new driveshaft out of his magic resin! I cut clean through the inner body and put a small pin through it to keep the body parts attached….Next is a Leroy Traffik Monster Truck!!

I have no idea what’s he’s saying but it looks and seems to work great.

Dancing in the infield …

With some of the gang …

And a great Dinoco Diorama …

So, thanks Popeye … anyone else ready to throw down against Aroldo & Popeye?
