Nice save! Very cool alterations and additions!!!!

Very cool Claude. Love the "slammed" look and the freehand paint scheme feature! In 1970 I bought a beater '65 VW Bus from a neighbor's dad. With paneling left over from my parent's basement upgrade, and help from my dad, we put a bed and drawers in back. My mom made curtains and I put blue "bottle" pattern plex in the side windows for a little privacy. Then added bigger wheels/tires on the rears, a $59.95 Earl Scheib special electric blue paint job, and sprayed black automotive paint through lace pattern material around the raised belt-line all the way around and around the VW emblem on the front. We had been living in Florida, until my dad got transferred back to St. Louis. Since you can't surf in the Mississippi I had to get back to the beach for High School summer breaks. I tried to replicate all little details of what it looked like inside after living in it for about three weeks a couple of summers. The surfboards are exact copies of my two favorites that I had at the time. Surf's up...gotta go! Stay warm...spring is just around thew corner

Beer and VW's go hand in hand...cheers!

Nice! Where is The Reverend Jim "Iggy" Ignatowski?

Cool....I like the wheels on this baby. Like a cloud flying down the highway!

Interesting thought Patrick M., although, I don't care for sauerkraut on my hamburger. But I do like the idea of a mix up of a Mercedes 300SL and SLR McLaren...or maybe I should try a SLR Stirling Moss. Now you have me scheming. Thanks

Hi Snake; Donor Kits & Features o AMT 63 “split-window” Corvette Sting Ray Coupe (rear body & doors) o Monogram ’67 427 Corvette Convertible (chassis, front & rear suspensions, dash, front fenders/hood – tilt-up, side exhaust) o Revell 2015 Foose Corvette Stingray (engine, radiator, seats, console, steering wheel, side mirrors, wheels & tires)

Hello John; Well...good points, although the halo headlight buckets are slightly smaller than the stock flip arrangement and would likely let in a little more air, plus the big thermostatically controled "sucker" fan on the frontside of the 6.2L radiator should do the trick, or maybe a chin spoiler would scoop up more...if needed. Wish I had this baby in 1:1 scale to find out! Thanks for the kind words!!!

With so many fantastic production and famous race cars, the answer to the “what is my favorite Corvette” question is a tough one. Mine would have to have; the impractical but beautifully proportioned aft end of the ‘63 split-window Stingray, the hood bulge and side pipes of the ’67 427, a big V8 (6.2L in this case), and why not make the hood tilt-open and give it gullwing doors and halo headlights, just for fun. Keep the ’67 dash, add better seats, modern door panels, and update the center console. And it must ride on wide low-profile tires with giant disc brakes.

Super clean mean machine. Nice job1
