[Brizio]

That's totally cool!

[Ira]

this is just one of the cooolest concepts I have seen here

Thanks Danny!

So Glad you like the Team...

[pharr7226]

Awesome concept and super clean execution. I'm looking forward to the next update.

[Ira]

This just fabulous. Love it. It's different and nothing but pure eye candy. WOWWEE!!!!

Thank You Dr.!

[Ira]

NOW!!! Those are Some FINS!!!

Always Loved the '59 Impala Fins, but they are a little too small for the Vette Transport.

So I used a Big Block Sander with some 80 Grit Sandpaper and flattend out the top of the El Camino Body.

Next I cut out some New Sheet Plastic Fins...8 Inches Long & an 8th Inch Wider than the Stock Fins!

I Sanded the Edges, Nice & Smooth, and then glued them in place...

Here is the Mock-Up with the Vette Attempt!

Thanks for Looking!

use '53 -'55 headlamps and grille decals for the nose, if possible

Awesome and impressive keep on doing your creation and let our mouths opened by the impression.

[Ira]

I can't wait to see more. how detailed will the drive line be? i see mid-engine most likely.

MORE PLEASE and THANK YOU LOL

Michael

Thanks Michael!

Yes, it will have the Mid-Engine location, looks like I will be using both the El Camino and Corvette Indy Frames...

Really cool Ira. How about building in a tire rack into the body where the '59 doors are, on one side and perhaps a tool box on the other? Just for some functionality.

Thanks Rob!

Great Suggestions...

[Pat Minarick]

Ira, this is going to be a wild one!

[JasonFL]

Man you have some really cool concepts. I wasn't sure I was going to like the vette front end on the hauler but I'll be ###### if you didn't make that flow with everything else and that vette hood scoop just looks tough. Can't wait to see it all finished, keep it up.

[Jantrix]

Thanks Rob!

Great Suggestions...

Happy to help.

[CorvairJim]

I've read the suggestions about making the front of the LSR car resemble a Corvette, and I can see it.. Squint just right and it could be transformed into something very similar to the factory Corvette SS sports Prototype from the late 50's.

[Mike Kucaba]

I like this a lot! I remember a few car/ truck/ transporter models over the years,but this one is off the HOOK!! Very unique!!

[Danno]

Whoa!

What a concept!

That's just way over the top!

{Even for you, Ira.}

[Ira]

Really neat...How about a Vette nose for the Vette Attempt?

Thanks Tony!

Good Idea, I'll be thinking about that...

[bobthehobbyguy]

Thanks Brizio!

MORE TAILLIGHTS!!!

I needed to add a liitle width to the Tailgate because I added 1/8th inch width to the Pick-Up Bed. I used 1/16th wide strips to each side and carved them down to fit. I also added a 1/16th inch to the bottom of the Tailgate.

I am using 16th Scale Cobra Headlights for Transporter Taillights. I driiled a hole for each light and glued them in place...

I drilled 2 more holes in the Tailgate and glued 2 lights in place.
