Ira Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 (edited) CORDVETTE!!! Starting a New 12th Scale Project! I am using parts from 2 AMT 37 Cords, a Monogram Testarossa, and a Monogram Corvette so far... Hope to have CORDVETTE in primer for NNL West 2012!!! Edited September 16, 2012 by Ira
Austin T Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 No not the Cord! I have the same Cord kit and wanted to see a build of it.Guess I'll need to suffer through the fact that your combining one of my favorite cars with one of my not so favorate cars.But,eveything you make turns out amazing so i'm still interested in this build.
Mr Core Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 This is going to be interesting, again. I'll sit down and enjoy the show
Dr. Cranky Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Ira, I already can tell you I like where this is going. Are you modifying one or both of them?
hotrod59f100 Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Sweet.2 great cars to hack into a master piece .

Thanks Austin, I just sectioned one of the Cord Bodies 3/4", photos coming...

Ira Posted January 31, 2012 Author Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) SECTION The BODY!!! First I removed the rear fenders. Then I removed about 3/4" from the center of the Cord Body, glued it back together and rough sanded it. Edited January 31, 2012 by Ira
Ira Posted January 31, 2012 Author Posted January 31, 2012 Ira, I already can tell you I like where this is going. Are you modifying one or both of them? Thanks Dr.! I am making one body using the parts from 3 or 4 bodies, 2 Cords, a Corvette and maybe the Testarossa...
DumpyDan Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Alright, this is what I came to see, lets cut them up. I can't wait to see what you come up with, but I will. You want to give us hint of what your plans are?
Ira Posted January 31, 2012 Author Posted January 31, 2012 GOT THE TOP! I cut the top off the Corvette with a Cut-Off Wheel in a Dremel Tool.
Ira Posted January 31, 2012 Author Posted January 31, 2012 FOUND the RIGHT SPOT!!! Using the Corvette Top as a guide, I positioned the Top on the Cord Body. Then I marked the Spot!
peter31a Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Wow! This is sounding like an interesting concept. Gonna keep following this build.
Ira Posted January 31, 2012 Author Posted January 31, 2012 Sweet.2 great cars to hack into a master piece . Its up to 3 cars now...hang in there, theres more coming!
Ira Posted January 31, 2012 Author Posted January 31, 2012 Alright, this is what I came to see, lets cut them up. I can't wait to see what you come up with, but I will. You want to give us hint of what your plans are? Thanks Dan! The photo at the top of the page has most of the parts that will be used in this build... more to come!
Ira Posted January 31, 2012 Author Posted January 31, 2012 HIT the SPOT! After cutting out the marked lines on the Cord Body, I attached the Corvette top in place as shown.
crazyjim Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Looks like this is going to be a wild builld. I can't wait for more.
montelsc Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 This is the start of something really hot keep posting all the updates
Ira Posted February 1, 2012 Author Posted February 1, 2012 THE BASIC PLAN... Here is a mock up of the basic idea that I have for CORDVETTE. I am letting the design evolve as I am building...
vwrabbit Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Ira, love your builds! Makes me want to get ALL of my models spread out on the floor and see what I might be able to combine together! Keep it up! Tim
Deathgoblin Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 I dig it!! I really like it laid out with the new fenders. Sharp design.
