Hi Tom!
Thank you, but as much as I'd like to claim paternity for the idea, we must first pay hommage to Thom Taylor, who designed the Vette Agin (the Revell kit who gave up two copies for this mutant), and Kindig It Design for their Riddler Award winning totally scratchbuild 1/1 '53 Vette supercar. I only took inspiration from those gentlemen, and threw "too much time" at it, if you ask my wife LOL.
Keep at it, and have fun with styrene!
