I think it must be the glue fumes, I mostly use acrylics.

Thanks guys.

I was planning the same thing, same car even .Great job.

Very nice stuff.

Very cool.

Great job this year Erik.

Nice builds ,looks like it was a good year.

Rob ,you could always put one those storage containers on the roof rack for a fuel cell. You wouldn't have to stop very much.

I have to keep a closer eye on you, very cool suff.

Love the van.very nice.

I was wondering if one these were going to show up.

I might have to break one out, I have a couple somewhere.

This is what I'm starting with .Not sure how to get all the Corvette chassis under the Smart ,but I'll figure it out. The Smart is a snap kit so I can take it apart and put it back together as much as I need to, it also comes with 3 front nose cones, doors ,and rear fenders. It looks like I'm missing one of the rear tires ,that should be fun to find.

It looks like it was a great year Bob!

All very nice Harry , makes me want to build something like them

Just got a few done this year.

Thanks I will take a look at one.

I found a Vette kit for the engine ,transaxle ,and suspension. I also found some rims in my parts box that fit the stock tires, they are even three lug just like a Smart. I think they are from the Stingray 111 kit. Now I just got to figure out how to fit all insidethe stock Smart body?

Thanks Mike,The glass is all one piece from the windshield,the roof,and the rear side windows. It is cracked in roof and quarter windows.

I've been looking for another Smart because I cracked the glass. Does anyone have one they would part with? If I can't find one I think I could make it a roll back convertible. But I was trying to keep it as plain as possible

I'm in ,looks like I will be entering a Smart. Can't wait to get started. This year I'm going to build a shiny one, I'm going to let my seven years old daughter pick out the colors.And it will have a small block and a transaxle.

You could try starting with a flat white base with a cote of dull cote over that ,then paint your panels and stripes with a brush then bury them in transparent color and clear. I would try it out on a junk body first.

Very clean build.

I love the red rims on the custom ,but the stocker is really nice.
