A very weird Corvette

[FenderMender]

Here's a circa 1961 or so survivor Chevrolet Corvette called "Smasher" that was transposed into something from the past and the future.  My Brother Ted and I had the idea of putting 1932 Ford front fenders and an accompanying almost Bugatti-style grille on a modern sports car; and that's before either of us knew anything about Bugatti's. And since fins were in vogue at the time, why not add those bad boys to the body. And while we're at it, might as well go ahead and chop the top for good measure. Cannot remember what car that top is from though. If you know, please inform us. Old age and some minor deterioration to the original 1961 version's cool custom scallops resulted in some flame decals applied as replacement decoration. Also, the old lakes pipes had lost their chrome plating, so they were painted black. Underneath, the original scratch-built trumpet-type exhaust pipes did weather the storms of time quite well. But later the end of one fin got chipped and had to be repaired. All in all, though, a fairly strong 64-year-old survivor. Just wish I could remember what car or truck that chopped top is from.

Thanks for looking...
