Ira Posted January 8, 2012 Author Posted January 8, 2012 It's all coming together very nicely! DavidG. Thanks David!
Ira Posted January 8, 2012 Author Posted January 8, 2012 Very parallel-universe! Lookin' goot! Thanks Danno!
Alyn Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 I've seen some cool flying car models lately, but this one has got to be the best of the best. Everything you've done to chop up the 59 has been right on the money.

Dr. Cranky Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 You keep going, keep feeding us this amazing eye candy. Wonderful imagineering, chap. Cheers, DC.
Ira Posted January 9, 2012 Author Posted January 9, 2012 Coming along nicely, Ira. I like the rear look just as it is. Maybe add a trim piece kinda like the 1:1 between the thrusters. Thanks for your kind comments James!
Dr. Cranky Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Ira, are you considering any type of special base or backdrop for it? Just curious.
Lunajammer Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Ira, are you considering any type of special base or backdrop for it? Just curious. Hey Dr. Magnets. This thread keeps bringing up a nagging question I have... Do you think there's a way to levitate this with reverse pole magnets? Maybe strong magnets in a base and secure the the vehicle with hair strands or very fine filament to keep it from falling over? Would there be just too much weight?
Ira Posted January 9, 2012 Author Posted January 9, 2012 MORE FINS!!! I traced the bottom opening shape onto sheeet plastic and cut it out to make an access hatch. Next I attached 4 "Triangle" Plastic Strips onto the new access hatch, leaving a little overhang on the ends... Here it is in place!

Ira Posted January 10, 2012 Author Posted January 10, 2012 Ira, are you considering any type of special base or backdrop for it? Just curious. Yes Dr., I was thinking about "Floating" Mirror above the fog in San Francisco! I might support the car with a length of polished piano wire, above an aerial photo base...
Dr. Cranky Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 Sounds like a cool idea, Ira . . . give it a go . . .

Ira Posted January 22, 2012 Author Posted January 22, 2012 Getting Ready for the BUBBLE! I attached the dashboard, filled in the low spots with putty and sanded it smooth.
Ira Posted January 22, 2012 Author Posted January 22, 2012 More Interior Mods... Took out the big Trans Hump & replaced it with a low profile console. I carved this piece of plastic to fit on the shelf behind the rear seats. This addition extends the console all the way to the body edge. Here is the latest interior mock up. By the way, I reduced the width of the interior to fit inside the bubble top.
vwrabbit Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 Love it! I have a very rough 59 Impala that this gives me inspiration for! Tim
