He is, after all, a 40-ft. mechanical gorilla named King Kong, and after months of appalling technical problems, he is almost out of the woods and onto the sets of Producer Dino De Laurentiis' monster movie. While the $3 million Kong endured some final tinkering on his hydraulic hands last week, workers began fitting his horsehair covering onto a wood-and-Styrofoam standin.

Having shaved one minute from the previous transcontinental record, the partners became undisputed holders of the 1975 Cannonball Baker Sea-to-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash...
