hobbybobby Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I always loved the idea, to make from a Corvette a wagonversion. I decided to make a a four-seater Sport Touring, with a combination of old, new and own lines and facets, as well as technical solutions. The origin is a `75 corvette convertible, new scratchbuilt roof, with the rear of a Corvette C5 and a rear spoiler of a Ferrari F50, the widening parts are from the 1988 mpc "Ghost Rider Corvette Road Racer" model kit, a little modified... Filling, sanding, filling, sanding... The final assembly of the components was a very annoying game, somehow, some parts not fit together anymore, and had to be reworked... Finally I have finished this long project... Here are the pics, hope, you like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danno Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) Wild! And not bad looking either. My only criticism (of the design, not the model) would be the too-high outlaw hood with a too-low roof would make forward visibility nearly non-existent. But the overall styling is pretty good.

hobbybobby Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 Thank you very much for the kind words! Wild! And not bad looking either. My only criticism (of the design, not the model) would be the too-high outlaw hood with a too-low roof would make forward visibility nearly non-existent. But the overall styling is pretty good. Well, who knows me and my builds otherwise, knows that I have built much more extreme vehicles, in some, one then wonders how it ever takes place, and some have so big engines with multiple blowers that you fortiori, can not see the own front...

hobbybobby Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 Real NICE Boban, I really like that color!! It is my own mixture, depending on the light, it changes from yellow to dark orange, and it also has a metallic effect... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobbybobby Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 From this bent body, (I would not restore it anyway...) I have taken the rear part... I was not happy with the rear part of this bodybash before. And exactly that, was even right for this project. So I cut the tail and planted it there. The rear spoiler of a Ferrari F50 came to the mission, whose body, dismembered, was also somewhere around... And so it looks, at the beginning: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
