Bugatti T50 with a difference!

[AL.]

Given the magnitude of this car, rodding it would never happen in real life but that's the beauty of playing 'what if' in styrene.

I channeled the front of the body, turned the boot/trunk upside down as it fitted better that way, (LOL) fitted the big wheels, shortened the radiator/grille, added the radiator/grille stays and scratched the steering drop arm, as the  kit parts were rubbish and gave it a pair of 'modern' rear lights.  I also brought the exhaust out of the side, by utilising the 'over the axle' pipe.

All four wheels DO sit on the deck. It's the photo base that's warped. LOL

I also gave it a 'custom' interior with seats from the parts box. Don't ask what they are from 'cos I have NO idea.

Your imagination paid off, looks good.

Different and therefore interesting! Kinda cool, in fact! Well done and model on! 

[Koellefornia Kid]

Yup, that's definitely different and it's definitely cool!

[Dragonhawk1066]

Certainly a different take on that car!! Well done??!!

[bobthehobbyguy]

Nicely done. Great concept and build quality.

Fun part about models like this, do what you want without purists bagging on you.

Very clever idea and execution.  I like it.

That is very cool. I can see some current custom car builder doing something like this with a fiberglass copy of a Buggati type 57 body. Why not? There must be at least 50K fiberglass Cobras out there besides the original <1K “real ones” that were manufactured. Maybe one could even “dress up” an old Pontiac or Buick straight 8 for a Bugatti Rod like this.

I did find one design exercise similar idea to your build:

Who said Sacrilege ?

Oh !  It's only a plastic kit after all !      But why no blown V8 up front ?    Only joking !   Nice bit of fun modelling !
