Elvira's draggin' T-Bird (sort of)

[spotarama]

It did start off as Elvira's T-Bird (from the movie Elvira - Mistress of the Dark) but by the time i got it, all the 'Elvira' parts had gone AWOL, they were stuff like the spider web grill, bat hubcaps and barbwire surround rearview mirror, ah well never mind,

i did clear green over silver paint, boxed over the back seats, put a roll cage over a race seat, 5 spoke 'Torq-Thrust D' wheels on the front, a pair of non-descript wheels and slicks from a cheap F1 toy on the back the inner door panels are swapped from either side and had all the armrests etc cut off which leaves nice neat cut-outs which kind of makes it look like the door trims have been taken off leaving the inner door panels exposed. i've done this on a few race cars and i think it looks 'right' if that makes sense

even thought the model is basically finished, i've put it in "workbench" cos i've misplaced the windscreen and surround as well as the headlights....oops. if i ever find where i've put them i can finish it and into drag racing it goes.

cool save. Also, nice backdrop. I built that kit back in the 70s with the same front wheels but mine were all around, do not recall if they came with the kit or not.
