streetmachine11 Posted February 3, 2019 Posted February 3, 2019 Back on the bench with a 1954 corvette nomad. Building for a club build-off deadline is two months this is where im at so far everything is fitting well next is to lengthen the chassis to get the right wheelbase now that the body can be used to measure.
mitchy Posted February 3, 2019 Posted February 3, 2019 Ooh that looks tricky, but I’m sure it is going to turn out fine. I have never seen that car before, thank you for that
Deuces Posted February 3, 2019 Posted February 3, 2019 Your title sez 1964.... You might want to change it...?
geetee66 Posted February 3, 2019 Posted February 3, 2019 Looks like a splendid conversion. I'm very interested to see how it turns out. The reference photo looks great.
ismaelg Posted February 3, 2019 Posted February 3, 2019 Cool! It seems sectioning is needed. Only 2 months? That's a challenge.
Superbird McMonte Posted February 3, 2019 Posted February 3, 2019 Very nice! This is a favorite subject of mine that is very high on the list to complete.?
Koellefornia Kid Posted February 3, 2019 Posted February 3, 2019 Cool project! One of my favorite GM concepts!
tooltime-fan Posted February 3, 2019 Posted February 3, 2019 I totally agree with the other sesponsers. I can't wait to see the progress
Jonathan Posted February 3, 2019 Posted February 3, 2019 Yeah, super cool! Both of these look nice. I had the Scale Exotics resin conversion once, but sold it. It was well done...should you ever run across one.

Thanks ismaelg Yeah its a challenge. Always wantet to build one though. Probably going to add instead of section. Just so the floor or interior dont have tl be modified.

dino246gt Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 Wow, that's pretty amazing bodywork, I'd have not thought of doing it that way, very cool indeed!
