  1. Hey Monte, These are your words... "Do you actually take pride in having built any of these?" Are you kidding me? Monte, why would someone do something if they didn't take pride in what they were doing? Maybe you need to lighten up a little, there is more than one way to build a model. Remember we are here to have some FUN!!! You might try it... It's still not too late to enter the CAR-TOONS CONTEST! Here is the link! http://coffincorner....ad=16869&page=1
  2. HOG VETTE??? Fram Air Hogs is the Sponser... The Hog Vette name and colors, Orange & Black, will be used!!!
  3. Thanks for the kind words Art!
  4. Thanks Jason! The whole motor would have been too big. I wanted to make the Corvette body stand out, rather than the motor...
  5. SUPERCHARGED ENGINE From SUPER FUZZ!!! I cut the Supercharger off of a Super Fuzz Engine. Next I cut out an area for the Supercharger. Then I glued a piece of plastic to the underside of the body to cover the area. Here is the mock-up with the Supercharger!!!
  6. Blending the Parts... I Cut and Fit 4 pieces of plastic to Bridge the Gap between the Fenders and the Rear of the CordVette. Here is another view! I spread putty over all the rough spots, now for some more Sanding...
  7. Thanks Bryan! More photos later today!
  8. This will be a Quicky, going to Finish before June 4, 2012 for the CAR-TOONS CONTEST! Here is the Contest Link: http://coffincorner.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=2007&action=display&thread=16869&page=1
  9. Thanks!
  10. VETTE WING!!! I couldn't find the Front Dragster Wings, so I made my own wing. I wanted some of the Corvette Shape up front and the Front Bumper/Grill was Perfect! I cut the Grill off the Bumper. Next I cut and fit sheet plastic to fit into the Bumper/Wing. I glued the plastic into the Bumper/Wing and measured the fit on the Nose. So after some cutting and fitting, I got the New Corvette Wing in place!
  11. ANOTHER NOSE JOB!!! I didn't like the Dragster Nose so I sliced it off on an angle... Then I cut a piece of plastic to fill-in the New Nose! Now, where is that Front Wing?
  12. BODY FITTING!!! I cut out and attached a sheet plastic triangular shape, up against the edge of the Corvette Body. This makes the Body Parts level. I added a strip of plastic along the bottom edge of the Corvette Body to match it up with the Nose section. I wonder...what kind of Engine should we use?
  13. More Nose Work... I cut a triangle of sheet plastic about 3/4" by 5". This will bring the width of the Nose out to fit the Vette Body Section. I turned the Nose over and glued the 4 Sections together. After some more cutting and fitting I attached the Nose and the Body together. I glued the Corvette Section about 3/32" above the height of the Nose. What Next?
  14. NOSE JOB For HOG VETTE!!! I started by cutting out the body section where the front axle comes through. Next I cut off the excess back portion. Then I cut the Dragster Body right down the middle. More Coming Soon!
  15. Slimmin' Down The VETTE!!! I cut this section from the side of the Vette Body to reduce its width. Then I replaced the Body Section with a piece of flat plastic. That's a little narrower...
  16. HOG VETTE!!! Hog Vette will be a Deals Wheels style Corvette Dragster! I started the Hog Vette a couple of days ago, as a 2 week Challenge to see if I can start and finish a CAR-TOONS Project by June 4, 2012! I started with a Vintage Stink Ray "Glue Bomb". I decided to cut it up after I got a New Funsters Vette! I am going to cross the Vette with a Top Fuel Body from the Valvoline Rear Engine Dragster. More coming Soon!!!
