Hi guys, this is only my second big scale, 1/12 67 Corvette.

I have pumped the guards by about 6 scale inches, fabricated the front and rear spoilers and uprights for it.

The rear of the chassis was narrowed, and the wheels were made from 2 different sets, + made sleaves for width, as i have NO  large scale parts

Motor is basic blown injected 427 Big block,.

 

This is how much the guards were pumped.

Wow! Very cool! And man oh man, I love that shade of blue.

And thank goodness you showed an example, otherwise I would have had no clue what "pump the guards" means! :lol:   Here in the states we call them "fenders"... :P

BTW.. it looks like those rear "guards" could have stood a bit more "pumping"... ;)

Dale, H E A V Y. Very nicely done. Any pictures of under the hood.

 

Ken.

Thank you all, Ken, here is a pic mate, pretty basic as the main emphasis on this one was the over all "LOOK" so to speak.

Harry, i don't think those fenders would take any more pumping, they are on the absolute tolerance of the plastic i think, ready to snap.

Great mods, design and colors. Hood, "guards," wheels, spoilers and interior are really coooool ... and match that blower about as good as it gets on that car
