I had a yellow '05 next to me on the street today. Man, that color
is bright. I'm fairly certain Ford hooked an alternator wire to the
body. Good thing I had my shades on.

I try to practice that, too, but every so often a pedestrian winds

This is the current re-issue:

AMT moved to the Orient (big surprise) a few years ago, and since
then they have repopped a lot of stuff, but the boxes are devoid of
details about the kit contents. Kinda strange, considering most of the
tooling is original. These days, Revell appears ahead of the game.
Here's an original Yenko kit you need to have:
