Thanks Jason!

The whole motor would have been too big. I wanted to make the Corvette body stand out, rather than the motor...

Ahh ok, that makes sense. Well I'm loving your ideas, can't wait to see it all finished, keep it up.

[Ira]

It's taking shape nicely...

Thanks Roberto!

The BiG WING!!!

The Rear Wing from the Valvoline Dragster is perfect for the Hog Vette!

I'll be using the 2 Yellow exhaust pipes from the ZZZZZZZ28 kit for Wing Supports...

[Ira]

Wow very very cool and an original idea to boot

Thanks Jeff!

Glad you like it!

[Ira]

HALF CHASSIS!!!

I am using the back half of the Vette Chassis Plate, so I cut the front part off. I carved the Chassis Plate to fit the Body.

I found a 16th scale '56 T-Bird rear end, with the ends cut off it's a Perfect Fit!

I painted the Chassis Plate with Flat Black and the Rear End with Diamond Dust.

Next the Interior!

This build is a really good idea. Nice combination.

Here's The HOG!!!

I made a Hog Head with Squlpey...

It's a little rough, but I think this will be a GOOD HOG!

Yep, here is our New Driver...

[Badluck 13]

That Hog head is just awesome,the perfect added touch,Ira this is why you are a master at these "Toon" creations!!!

[camaroman]

Now we're talking ... I always enjoyed the Hoggs on the Rupp Farm!

Another great looking build !! One question about Squlpey . What is it ?

[Ira]

HOG VETTE WHEELS!!!

Instead of the stock "Deals Wheels" Tires, I switched to these...

The Rears are from a 16th scale Ferrari. The Front Wheels are from the Beatnik Bandit II, with Skinny Vintage Revell Gasser Tires.

[Ira]

Thumbs up! Incredible build. You got high on styrene addiction againg buddy. Keep on creating:)

Thanks for the encouragement Wilbert!

[Ira]

The creative juices just keep on flow'n.

Thanks James!

[Ira]

Here comes the GREAT EYE CANDY AGAIN! HA, another wonderful build in the works, Ira. Time for more POPCORN. Keep it going.

Thank You Dr.!

[Ira]

HOG BODY WORK!!!

I used a Dremel Tool with a Drum Sanding Bit to smooth out the area where both bodies meet.

Added putty to a few spots...

I sanded smooth the rear end and drilled out the Taillights.

More Sanding...

[Ira]

GETTIN' SMOOTHER...

I Sanded the body down with some 220 Grade Sand Paper then dropped down to 320 Grade.

The Wing Supports are made from Deal's Wheels Z-28 Exhaust Pipes.

I attached the Wing Supports before applying the Primer.

Ready for Primer!

HOG VETTE IN PRIMER - ONLY ONE WEEK TO GO!!!

Top View!

The Primer is Dry and I hope to start Painting Tomorrow!

[Ira]

You know with these builds, I would like to see your house. It must be like a fun house with a slide to exit out. Lol

Yep, it's a Fun House all right!!!

[Ira]

Oh boy those are the perfect graphics for this one. Nice, Ira. Very nice.

Thanks Dr.!

These Slixx Decals are Great!

[Ira]

WOW!!!!

Thanks James!

[Ira]

Gonna scratch up a HOGG from the ol' farm to go with it ???

Yea, I'm working on him now!

[Ira]

Great idea. I'd like to see the same thing done in scale, as an exhibition fueler.

Yeah, That Would Be FUN!!!!
