Thanks again for all the kind words. Here are a few more pix.... A profile showing the chop better..... A higher chassis shot..... And a better shot of the rework of the tail and decklid....

Thanks for all the positive comments, everyone.

I really want to thank you all for all the info on entering, resizing, etc. I hadn't gone thru to the "thank you" page, and assumed it was just a glitch. If it hadn't been for all of your helpful posts, my entry wouldn't have made the deadline. Thanks again, Bill

I haven't finished anything in years, but the 2012 Revell-Gearz contest was the inspiration I needed, I guess. Just got it in at about 7:00 PM. Scale 4" chop, de-chromed body and flush-fitted windshield; Corvette C5-R chassis stretched using the original Chevelle center pan and a partially scratch-built cage and fuel tanks; Chevelle kit 454 modified with front blower and magneto, custom through-frame exhausts; filled parking lights and reshaped, narrowed and painted front bumper; Hood opened up for radiator duct with scratch-built gills; Deckild opened with through-panel vintage Indy-car fuel filler; custom rear panel with C5 taillights and rolled pan; Optional Chevelle-kit chrome wheels with custom alloy rims.Testors Flaming Orange lacquer and 4 coats of clear.

I'm new....thought I'd post a few pics of some ongoing builds, and see if I have a handle on the procedure for same. Let's see what happens with a '34 Ford tracknose.... and a sectioned and channeled '40 Ford custom..... ...a chopped and channeled '37 slantback on a C5 chassis...... ....a Ferrari powered '34 Ford pickup...... .......and a rework of the old Monogram Predicta kit, for starters.
