C4 Vette custom ($0.82)

[GerN]

This little project was inspired by the August 1987 issue of Scale Auto Enthusiast which I found in my basement.  It focuses on Vettes and even includes some custom builds.  I recently got an AMT/Ertl C4 glue bomb body and interior for $0.82 and of course I had to start the butchery.  Warning:  I'll probably never get this past the primer stage (but with all necessary subassemblies), as usual.  I wanted to do something to the nose and roof primarily.  Then I decided the faux Ferrari cut line/trim strip had to go.  So here it is:

The first picture is after I cut out a hood opening and superglued the front end on.  It shows a bit of the overzealous glue application from the original build.  I'd love to hear from other custom builders (Are you there Bill Stillwagon?);  I'm already planning to extend the grille upper lip about 2 mm.  I'm wondering about the extreme undercut on the sides:  should I fill it to match up with the front better?

   Very cool Gerald!!  Very cool indeed!

I can't wait to see where this one goes.
