I've read the suggestions about making the front of the LSR car resemble a Corvette, and I can see it.. Squint just right and it could be transformed into something very similar to the factory Corvette SS sports Prototype from the late 50's.

I like this a lot! I remember a few car/ truck/ transporter models over the years,but this one is off the HOOK!! Very unique!!

[Danno]

Whoa!
What a concept!


That's just way over the top!

{Even for you, Ira.}

Really neat...How about a Vette nose for the Vette Attempt?

Thanks Tony!

Good Idea, I'll be thinking about that...

MORE TAILLIGHTS!!!

I needed to add a liitle width to the Tailgate because I added 1/8th inch width to the Pick-Up Bed. I used 1/16th wide strips to each side and carved them down to fit. I also added a 1/16th inch to the bottom of the Tailgate.





I am using 16th Scale Cobra Headlights for Transporter Taillights. I driiled a hole for each light and glued them in place...





I drilled 2 more holes in the Tailgate and glued 2 lights in place.





Rear View...

[GerN]

Just wow - another great design.

[Ira]

use '53 -'55 headlamps and grille decals for the nose, if possible


Michael

Great Idea Michael, Thanks!

[Ira]

Awesome and impressive keep on doing your creation and let our mouths opened by the impression.

Thanks Wilbert!

PARA-SCOOP!!!

I made a Parascope Scoop from rectangular plastic tubing. Here is the first piece of tubing in place, each end cut on an angle...






Here is the second piece in place. Both ends cut on an angle and one end is filled with plastic strip.






Then I sanded down the edges, to round them off a bit.
All Done!!!





WATCH OUT!!! There's a Bug on the desk!




What a difference between these 2 projects....working on both of them at the same time...

[Draggon]

Great combo Ira!

[Ira]

Man you have some really cool concepts. I wasn't sure I was going to like the vette front end on the hauler but I'll be ###### if you didn't make that flow with everything else and that vette hood scoop just looks tough. Can't wait to see it all finished, keep it up.

Thanks for the kind words Jason!

Glad you like it...
