Just make your own, that's what I would do.

You've come up with a very unique concept and executed it very well. Is it based on a real prototype?

Nice over-all effect- excellent rust!

Looks like this will be a fun one to watch!

Wicked cool!

Nice fusion, very well done- good color choice too!

Daaaaannng! Completely awesome! This would make an excellent Batmobile... seriously.

It looks pretty good, what needs to be done on it yet?

That's just evil lookin' ...in a cool sorta way!

Very impressive scratchbuilding skills!

Everything looks good! What did you use to build your exhaust?

Top notch paint work!

Excellent work! I love builds like this, your's is very well done.

That's pretty impressive for a performance car! As Zoom pointed out, I'd check it myself if I were you. I check all my cars at each fill-up. I've found it a fairly good indicator of of the car's over-all condition. My '71 Delta 88 with a 4bbl 350 and HEI gets 11 MPG around town and 22 on the highway... at 90 MPH! I once checked it on a 250 mile freeway trip.

This one looks like it could be a lot of fun- you've got a good start going.

Here are a few models that came in my last e-bay haul that I'd like to know more about. This old Corvette seems to be 1:24 scale or a bit larger. I was wondering if anybody knows what company made it and when, and if there is anything particularly special or desireable about it. Obviously, this one is a Cord. The body is made up of seperate panel pieces that I temporarily tacked together with masking tape for the photo. The engine, though incomplete, seems to be correct as it's molded in red plastic like the rest of the kit. There is no chassis. In addition to wanting to know who made this kit and when, I was wondering if somebody might suggest a suitable chassis donor. And then there's this... thing. Obviously a model of one of those wacky '60s custom showcars, but it's nothing I can recall seeing. Thanks for your time and expertise. Regards, David G.

It's almost too cool! Very realistic, especially the under-hood shot which looks like it could be from a magazine spread.

Your engine detail is mindblowing!

You have some very interesting ideas, it'll be fun to watch them develop.

Very Cool! You're a lucky man.

The glass packs I made from styrene tubing and the rust detail is a combination of paint and washes with some embossing powder and acrylic medium added to make the gritty texture. Finally, here is a picture of the engine bay in all its gory glory. I had to move the firewall back just to get the engine to fit. I wanted to use this '58 Impala tri-power engine, until I found that it wouldn't fit. I then tried the kit engine and found that it had the same exact fit issues. I decided that if I had to force-fit an engine, it may as well be the one I want. This is the area that gave me the most trouble, so much so, that I actually considered building this as a curbside. Again, thanks for all your kind and insightful comments. If any of you had a similar experience with this or any other kit, please feel free to share any observations, suggestions or solutions.

Nice clean build- good color choice.

One of my all-time favorites. Great build!

Your paint looks great, excellent build!

Wow! Your detail work is excellent and really adds to the overall feel of the build.
