Another great build! A Corvair flat six might fit, and would be extremely different.

Ignore my request for more rotary info. I finally remembered GM was considering a rotary for the Aerovette, did a search and discovered they put together two Vega rotary engines as a possible four rotor Vette mill. I even found photos, but I'm sticking with my big cube tri-rotary. I've done a little more body work:

Sorry about spreading this out, but I was unable to add anything yesterday and I wanted to get whatever I could on the forum while It worked for me. Today I'm using Google Chrome instead of Explorer; maybe that's the difference.
Style decisions: I usually prefer front and rear wheel openings to match, but here I wanted to keep the bulge along the top of the body side from front to rear. The roof is from a '57 T-bird kit, also picked up at the MAMA show. The tail is my resin copy of the current Challenger front. The Banshee kit chassis is poor, and the one with the junker was pretty messy, hence my resin adaptation from the Camaro concept car. I'm not very happy with my scratch-built rotary. I could only find one grainy picture of a GM rotary, and I don't think it has much to do with the rumored Vette engine. I assumed GM would go with cubes for their performance rotary. If anybody has any good info, I'd appreciate it.
