Next in my series of Simpsons builds is the "Malibu Stacy Car," Lisa's main car in Hit & Run. I wanted it to be a small sporty roadster, along the lines of a Lotus or Triumph, so I started with a 1/32 Mazda RX-7, with most of the body contours smoothed and a set of fins from a Datsun Bluebird. The interior is a combination of parts box and scratch built items, wheels are from the kit with Pegasus whitewalls, and the rear bumper is a modified Ford part. It fought me more than once, and while not my finest work was still a fun project being so different. As always, any comments/criticisms are welcome!

With the other Simpsons cars I've completed so far:

Have you thought of trying to make the homer the car homer designed and had built 

Yes, I have two more Simpsons-themed builds that I'm working on already, then the Homer will be after those.

I don’t know the reference car at all, but that is one very handsome roadster.

Here's a screenshot from the game. A few details (like the wheels & seats) seem to depend on which screen/console you're on, so I just went with what felt "right."

Great concept to build vehicles based on The Simpsons. I had something similar planned, even started collecting kits, but never started any of it. 

Any others planned? Mr Plow pickup? Moe's rust bucket with the giant flowers on it?

Oh yes, I have two more on the bench right now and the old Polar Lights "The Homer" to get to. Thanks!
