customsrus Posted August 30, 2023 Share Posted August 30, 2023 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. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rattlecan Dan Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Long, low, and swoopy. Very customized "show car" look. Nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

customsrus Posted September 1, 2023 Author Share Posted September 1, 2023 (edited) 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.

Both are great, but the first one is a bit less busy and seems more in keeping with the body lines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stef Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
