Time has been tight lately, as the wife recently gave birth to child number three....

I have managed to get some work done on the Vette altered, this is how it looked when last we saw it...

This was just prior to fitting the body, engine and interior parts mounted.

And finally with some paint applied. Originally this was to be painted red and white like Lightning McQueen, per my four year olds request. However, some time later, he decided on blue and white. So I shot some Testors Star Spangled Blue over dark grey primer, and used some Tamiya White Primer for the coves. Once both coves and the tonneau are painted, the body will get a coat of furture and some decals from the MK Camaro.

Speaking of the MK Camaro....

this one will be come a very loose representation of one of Kelly Chadwicks Camaros....

WOW, what a project!!! This is one of my dream builds, I have to buy that Corvette body sometimes. Great job so far, that chassis is very nice, where it's from...? Very nice paintjob on it and a big plus point from very nicely painted white area! I'll be watching this one so keep it going!

I really like that body. What a great build idea. Who cast the body?

Mike,

It is a Flintstone body, he recently did several altered style bodies. He did a Nova, a Mustang and a 34 Ford, which I also picked up at NNL East. They use either a Bantam Blast or a Winged Express kit as a donor,...

Nikko,

thanks for the kinda words....The chassis is from a Winged Express kit, and the body from Jimmy Flintstone.

Thanks
