All the same parts were used, but the nose was cut off and flat black was used. In the end I was real happy with it.Īfter the real Orbitron was found in Mexico as a basket case in front of a porn shop, I thought it would be fun to build that version as well. I added a little blue pearl to the mix as well for fun. It was painted in pearl white and candy blue House of Kolor Urethane. The wheels, tires, and two pronged spinners came from the Silhouette kit as well. I made a mold and cast them all in the proper colored clear tinted resin. I found some head lights that would fit the bill, then modified them to look like the Lucas lights Ed used with the small bullets on the lenses. The body was smoothed out and the front spears were opened up to resemble the original body. I flocked it in the light blue fur just like Ed Roth did. I added a TV from an old AMT kit, Mooneyes pedal from my parts box, and a steering wheel from the Silhouette kit. I custom made the exhaust from styrene tubing. The interior was also built from styrene.
The rear axle was robbed from a Silhouette kit. I used a front axle from an early Ford street rod kit along with the 4-link. A mid 60s Corvette engine worked for the power plant and I topped it off with a 3 carb set-up. I scratch-built a chassis from styrene strips. It came with a body, trim ring, hood, and clear bubble. Finding all the parts in 25th scale are tough to locate, but I think I did a pretty good job. Since Ed Roth's Orbitron was one of my favorite cars he built, I had to do my research to build my own replica.
