A12 Runner fresh out of the paint shop!

Just wanted to share some pics of my Buddy Ken Budowick's A12 Runner. A12 aficionados may remember this car. Ken bought it around 2006ish. He owned it for awhile then tried to sell it as-is, on Ebay. No takers and it the body was a bit rough. Well, he decided to tear it down and mint it out. I had the pleasure to work with Ken for about 6 years, doing race car fab and sheet metal restoration and he is a true craftsman and a great teacher! The body had been completely gone over, replacing all of the rusted sheet metal and the paint and bodywork has just been finished by Mike and Jerry Rathsburg. This thing is perfect! On a side note, thru the power of Moparts, I was able to get Ken hooked up with the original block. So now it will be numbers matching. I believe the car has the numbers matching trans and rear. Here are the pics he sent

Steff, I didn't know Mike and Jerry had a body shop.
Are they the same guys that ran the blue duster in the KOS series ???
The car looks Great by the way !!!

M&J is homeys...


The car is lookin' real good...

Yes, same Twins that ran KOS. They don't own a body shop. They do side work from home and Jerry paints cars for a living. He must have painted it at work, using their spray booth.

Looks awesome. Love Vitamin C

It looks great and very glad that he was able to find the original engine. Your friend should be very proud!
