Out of Sight 1966 The ZZR Movie Car

    Famous Out Of Sight 1966
         Movie Car The ZZR                                                                                                                              google.com, pub-1513610992788564, DIRECT, f08c47fec0942fa0
         The ZZR Out of Sight
    show car included;  in  the 
    rare retouched pictures; it
    had twenty-one weapons.
          Fire came out of left the
     left rear fender ; but no bullets.
    It had tar and feathers, and oil
    slicks, the bed has and arsenal  
    of weapons, rocket launchers,
    machine guns, hand grenades,
    and other weapons. The right
    passenger side's upper wind-
    shield frame had a flower pot
    with sleeping powder, if you
    got to close to the flower pot.
       The ZZR was made from
    a extra Munster Koach body
    of fiberglass. The top was cut
    then off, then after the first
    doors, then cut after the second
    doors. Next the rear of the body
    was shoved forward to mesh to
    the front, and the front doors.
    By removing front doors with
    the smaller third doors, they
    could mesh them together as
    one reinforced by plywood to
    the back of the doors. This then
    gave them a longer slender look
    with the new custom body. The
    frame was square tubing. The
    front axle was tubular axle on
    polyester tires and Rader Star 
    Mags with right Rader Knock-
    offs. The body was channeled
    over the frame, which means, it
    was lowered over the frame and
    tilted down and then bolted into
    place. A tall fiberglass scoop was
    made over the cowl area. The top
    was made of steel, which wrapped
    around the back like a Model T,
    but had two port holes on both
    sides of the top with silver rings,
    The flat top was squared and was 
    gold with gold pom-poms. The 
    cool windshield was like the 
    Munster  Koach, but had another
    type of windshield angled at 
    diagonal to fit the top securely.
    The engines  were two 1966 Buick 
    Rivera 325 CID bored out to 340
    CID. Each engine had one four 
    barrel carburetor, but the front
    engine  has a Cadillac air cleaner,
    and is higher with it's four injector
    type scoop then the rear one. 
    This has two radiators. The engines
    are  mounted tandem style. Cool
    Les Thompson  had engineered,
    designed this marvel, which does
    actually work. If you move the 
    gear shift forward, the second
    engine will disengage. The rear
    fenders are lavender from the
    Munster Koach. 
    The two long front tear drop
    fenders do have barrels; but,
    don't shoot bullets. caps are 
    over barrels They are fake
     spare tire holders with
    lavender straps to hold
    the tire holders in place;
    that support the pontoons.
    The ZZR tire holders covered
    with gold Naugahyde  tuck
    and roll. The top side is also
    covered the same way, along 
    with the upholstery for the
    gold bucket seats. When the
    driver turns on the car, the seat 
    moves forward. Then the side
    arms snap into place. Special
    graphics were applied to the
    doors designed by paid graphic
    artist. House of Kolor Gold is
    the color used the paint the car.
    The car has custom headers, for
    each engine. Then the headers
    were collected into a cylinder
    type pipe; which looks like a 
    CO 2 capsule; to move exhaust
    to the rear; and cut the noise to
    the engines. The ZZR also had
    side hood doors; with custom
    headlight shells, that served
    nicely for the two radiators,
    which the $1,000.00 custom
    brass grill snugly fit into. The 
    the French headlights which
    turned  vertical to fit between 
    the front fenders. The rear mags
    were thrust Rader Mags with
    Rader Right Knockoffs. The rear
    tires wear 15 inch Dirt Track
    Micky Thompson tires. The cost
    $22,000 in 1966. The engines were
    painted red. Yes this car was used
    in the beach movie "Out Of Sight"
    The car had a Ford Econoline van 
    steering column, Mercury gauges,
    with rectangular gas gauges that
    had empty and full. Fords had two
    metal coolant overflow tanks to
    keep the Buick engines cool. The
    rear end was a Oldsmobile to the
    Buick Two-Speed Automatic 
    transmission. The hood ornaments
    were like two sets of branches on
    the custom brass grill.
       The blond with black rim round
    glasses was dancing on Shindig and
    got the part in "Out of Sight" 1966
    movie.
        amt made a model kit; which is the
    most valuable model kit.
        Do not expect to pay less then $325 
    for this model kit by Barris Kustoms.
    It has a high demand for collectors.
        Taking on the scratch building you
    need a Munster Koach body; cutting 
    the doors open can be done with a 
    X-Acto knife to scribe the lines, then
    get some polyester thread to make a
    miniature hacksaw handle to put this
    type of thread on. Work slow until you
    cut both the front doors and the third
    doors open. Remember you must cut
    behind the first doors; and the second
    doors; Once you have cut behind the 
    second doors, move the third doors
    forward to the second doors. You will
    have to glue the back half of the body
    to the front. Use Zap Kicker Glue with
    ventilation or it will give you brain 
    damage. If you have both the front 
    doors and the third doors cut open,
    take and cut off some Plastic Strut.   
    Make sure you mesh up both front
    left and third doors together, make a
    pattern of the door with the two on
    them together. Follow this for right
    front and third doors, but make a right
    pattern for the two doors meshed on
    right side and glue the sheet plastic
    together to the two doors that become
    one, as you did for the left side. 
          Watch the movie by the Poster.

   The custom headlight shells are
lavender from House Of Kolor. The
large four injector scoops are from
Revell Ford Engine Parts Packs.
You need two of these four injector
scoops from two of these.
    I noticed, if you take gold thread,
serve as pom poms strings.
    The balls could be those small
silicon balls, painted  Testors gold,
and that gold flock, you use with
paint.
     You need to make a small pick up
box from sheet plastic to finish the 
body look. The fenders will have to be
drawn out, do not forget pontoons,
that hold up, the tire carriers with the
two straps painted lavender and the
large fenders.
     Another thing, the car had a Ford
Econoline Van Steering Column with
Mercury gauges.
    The gas gauge was rectangular, that
had Empty and Full. The car model, did
come with a four analog four cluster of
four gauges.
    There were two metal tanks, which
Fords, had early 1960's,had coolant, to
add to the two radiators, to keep them
cool ,acting as a overflow to the two
radiators.
    The headers, could be made from 3/32
inch tubing ,bought at airplane hobby 
shops. Make sure that all four headers,
bend at a loop to go over the hood side
doors.
     Please let me know if you made this
model, using this advice.
     I would like all my readers, see your
models of this famous "Out Of Sight"
"The ZRR" built.
     I have the decals in pictures, of the
side doors. Please be patient as I find it
on my disc.
     By the way do not forget your CO 2
capsule like pipes that go to end of the
headers to both engines. You could use,
either larger metal tubing, just a little
bigger then 3/32 inch, of Plastic Strut,
and glue a plastic ball, in the back ,and
cover with Bare Metal Chrome.
      The plastic ball is use to fill that 
CO 2 shape looking capsule at the back
 of the car, and give that curved shape on
 the back of CO 2 capsules.
       The pictures to help from original















kit that might help with decal sheet. Get
yourself decal sheet for your printer to
copy these decals. Also parts of  the cool
instructions, to give idea, of kit parts, the



body with scoop and chrome headers, to
copy properly. Note these decals are 1/25
but the picture has them in 1/32, enlarge
to 1/25. The Bottom picture is Fire Bug
which ruined the ZZR model by amt.
      Look for the restoration of The ZZR in
 about three years. The owner is going to
to a European circuit; then bring it back to
United States car shows. The new owner is
master airbrush artist, Porche', motorcycle
mechanic. He just put out his new book.
On Facebook, say hello to Dox in Italy.
his company is Dox Artist Factory. This is
I'm helping when living in Auburn, CA;
now;  Lincoln, California; via Messenger and
Video Conference.
         Dox of Dox Art Factory won the 
Artist Award In Cal Expo early 2022.  Dox was
the first from Europe to win it. Customx
