These melange builds rarely work for me but this one just sings, very true to that original spirit of the Kindig Corve... tribute. 

Thanks Bob!

Another stunning build from your bench. Great concept and even better execution. That's the best use of SSR parts I've ever seen! -RRR

Thank you Sir!

I figured what to do with the SSR's rolling stock... but for the rest of the kit, I'm still lost at sea about it LOL!

As I wrote, I had two copies of the same kit, had to do something!

How do you manage to create these innovative designs? As someone who just builds them out of the box I'm quite impressed

Claude, just an outstanding job. Everything about this project is perfect. Congrats.

Hi Tom!

Thank you, but as much as I'd like to claim paternity for the idea, we must first pay hommage to Thom Taylor, who designed the Vette Agin (the Revell kit who gave up two copies for this mutant), and Kindig It Design for their Riddler Award winning totally scratchbuild 1/1 '53 Vette supercar. I only took inspiration from those gentlemen, and threw "too much time" at it, if you ask my wife LOL. 

Keep at it, and have fun with styrene!

Another stunner Claude. This baby would look great sitting next to Kindig's Riddler Winner! Well done!!!

Well, I don't know about the "perfect" part, but it was a fun challenge.

Thanks Steve!

You are right: there's a certain "kinship" between them LOL.
