I once saw a pic of a boat that had been made out of a '63-'67 Corvette coupe. Or at least the top half of one grafted onto a hull of some kind.

And then there was the WWII VW Schwimwagen, which seems to have been the inspiration for the body shape of the Meyers Manx and other early dune buggies.

Yes, here it is:

I have plans on building a model based on that with the Hemi Hydro and a Corvette body I got.

I really like the Andy Saunders built Showboat above. What was it based on?

That's not the one I saw. That one's obviously "inspired by" a '63 Coupe. The one I saw was an ACTUAL top half of a Vette Coupe. I'll see if I can find the pic.

ETA: I'm not 100% sure this is the same one I saw before, but if it's not, it's the same idea. Actually if you google-image Corvette boat, you can see quite a few interesting concepts and customs of various sorts .
