Although I will post pics tomorrow, The Boyz finally built a Reliant Robin. The body is scratch built utilizing plastic sheet and resized pics from a blueprints site. The tribute to The Senator is co-sponsored by C&S Body Care in Norwich; Saxom Breakdown Recovery, Ipswich; and ASCW.
A third caravan combo also rolled out of the shop--the tow car is a '57 Rolls.
Tina Fazoli DeMarco (Mrs. Big Vinnie) is driving a static Auburn-made rubber wild custom. Her initials TD are on the door. Although it is actually Vinnie's ride, Uncle Sal convinced him that Tina's initials were more suitable for the driver side door.
A 1949 GMC tow truck (part ERTL, part MATER) is in the weathering stage, and even Curly The Slot Pig signed up to be the Shoppe's junkyard "hog!"

PS: The Robin utilizes the pickup for its front "wheel" and the body is screw-mounted through the vacated axle holes.
