Ira Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 Mirroring the Rear!!! I cut the trunk off at about the new halfway point. Then I cut out a similar section of the trunk from the second Cord Body... I cut and fit the trunk sections untill they fit together nicely. Then I glued them with Zap-A-Gap & Testors Red Label. The New Rear End shape is startng to come together! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 Making The CUTS!!! The first cuts were made with a Dremel tool and a large Cut-Off Wheel. Things were evened up with a sanding block and 60 Grade Sandpaper... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 Sides On! I traced the openings onto sheet plastic and cut out the shapes. I attached the plastic with Zap-A-Gap & Testors Red Label Glue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 There Goes The Front!!! I cut the front end from the Corvette... I narrowed the Corvette front end, by about 3", and cut & fit it on to the front of the Cord Body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorvairJim Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Oh hell yeah! I like where this is going. You're combining two of my all-time favorites here. I'm sure Cord designer Gordon Buehrig would approve of where this is going, and Sting Ray designers Bill Mitchell and Larry Shinoda would be flat-out intrigued! I'm definitely gonna follow this one, and maybe do my own take on it some time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 Rear Wheel Drive!!! Bracing up the Fender Unit with sheet plastic. Then I cut out the area between the fenders with a Dremel & cut off wheel. Here it is with the new front end in place... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
