Custom Futura

[customsrus]

This started out as a glue bomb and was missing pieces. This was built by my father years ago so I had to try to make something from it. I started by adding the top from a c4 corvette and reducing the size of the rear window. Interior is also from the corvette that I converted into a 4 seater. Dash, seats and door panels are modified corvette parts. Grille is scratched built. Still a bit to do before it’s finished.

Coming along nicely, very cool.

Thanks. Hopefully I get it done soon. I’m very slow. Lol

Long, low, and swoopy. Very customized "show car" look. Nice work.

Wow this is a cool custom will be following for more updates 

[customsrus]

Here is the chassis. Made from sheet plastic. It will have some detail such as gas tank, lower engine, and radiator. The suspension was out of the parts bin but it is from a c-6 corvette. More to come, hopefully.

Oh man!

Interesting and wild departure from the original!

You could leave it exactly as it is, and I would still LOVE it! What a great silhouette it has. ?

Made 2 different grills. Which do you prefer.

Both are great, but the first one is a bit less busy and seems more in keeping with the body lines.

Agreed; both are maliciously wicked. The one with fewer teeth looks like a vampire, and the one with more teeth looks like a double evil Bender.

[espo]

Like the first one. 

[Ace-Garageguy]

You still have the eye for what looks right. Nice to see talent at work.

That's a tough one... but for my 2 cents the top one ?

[slusher]

Tha second fits a little Bette but I give you props on some really nice work..

The roof and grille mods work well, I can't wait to see more.

LOL. I had to look up what a double evil Bender was...

[ewetwo]

I like the first grill.

Ha ha, true, Flexo is the evil evil Bender, but I was actually thinking of the Futurama episode where Bender turns into an evil car, "The Honking". I'm loving this Futurama, I mean, Futura, restyling so much, I wanna get one and see what I can do with it. Great styling job. This one's a winner, regardless of which grille is chosen.

Finally getting something done 1 1/2 years later. Got the interior and chassis completed and got the body painted. Now have to wait awhile for the paint to gas out so I can finish it up. Thanks for looking.
