Nash Metropolitan

[TooOld]

This one is a little different and probably won't appeal to everyone .

It's a resin body from Modelhaus modified to accept the windshield and interior from a '67 Corvette . The wheel openings were enlarged , the side molding is half round styrene rod , and the spare tire cover is a modified piece from a '59 Chevy .

The Corvette chassis was shortened and the suspension was narrowed . The stock 427 motor and tranny fit like a glove !

The paint is MM Nassau Blue and Tamiya Classic White .

Awesome!

Great way to get rid of those meddlesome Corvette parts, to boot.

[S. Svendsen]

Cool concept and well executed!

[Crazy Ed]

Wow Bob, What an insane combo. A 427 Nash Metro. Ya know the candle on the birthday cupcake'd be the Gas Filler Cap from a '50's, 60's roadracer on the "trunk" .

[Dr. Cranky]

Cute as a button. Nice job. Different subject matter.

[Erik Smith]

That is great! I really like the way it looks. Excellent work. I imagine it would be a scary driver.

[surfjunke]

What a great idea! Beautifully executed! That will be one fast & crazy Nash. Love it!

[Danno]

Neat!

[bbowser]

That is awesome. No more crazy than a big block in an English sports car (Cobra anyone?). Very cool.

[The70judgeman]

[Brizio]

Way too cool!!!

[Pullin Gears]

It's really cool!

[Lunajammer]

Different is always good. Still undecided about the appeal, but the engineering is fantastic. Not an easy combo but you put it together like it was meant to be.

[mikelo]

Thats a cool little car. Car, I mean screamer.

What a great concept Bob. This is really cool!

[TooOld]

Thanks for your comments guys ! It does get some unusual reactions . There was a 1 : 1 at the S.E. Nats last weekend and some thought it was really cool , others just shook there heads and walked right by !
