Corvette Starfighter

[Brianl]

Been playing with this for a while & still can't come up with a better paint scheme so I'll park it & wait for a revelation (maybe). Based on the Revell Mongoose rail with a donated Corvette shell that was damaged. A few things need finishing up but I'll wait for the "revelation" to turn up. Thought it might generate some ideas if I posted it. Body is narrowed & the roof is chopped, narrowed & moved back. It was a fun build.

Cool dragster !

[TarheelRick]

Some really creative building.  Wonder if this is the forerunner of Pro-Mods of the future?

Great concept Brian, excellent execution.

I rarely throw in my "2 cents" on others builds because there is more than enuff that could be said about my builds.

I do want you to consider, if you're talking about stripping the current paint job, replacing the A pillars.

I believe it would be both aesthetically pleasing and may function as a brace to prevent the roof from getting ripped off at speed.

Either way, Bravo on a sweet ride.

Cool looking dragster.

[Dragline]

OK that's just WICKED!

 

 

Great concept and good use of that drag chassis.  I'm thinking Tom Daniel would just go GaGa for it.

Very cool, I seen to lack imagination, glad to see others that haven't!  Very nicely done.

I normally don't bother looking at racing vehicles.  This one is really cool though.

Thanks for the encouragement gents

Hey Nitro, I had to smile at your comment on replacing the A pillar. I have a thread going in the pickup work bench where I had a couple of recommendations to ditch the A pillar on the F100 I'm building at the moment!. I did try the A pillar but that is where the exhaust stacks will exit & because the roof is lower, smaller & further back it looked a little cluttered. If I do anything it might be to close in all the window openings l!. It will make for a very pure shape.

Still thinking about the final outcome.

Thanks for the feedback mate.
