I found this in a Dollar store a while ago and couldn`t resist chopping it up a little. Lowered suspension a ton, channeled the body, removed the box from the body and moved it higher up, built a new rear frame assy to fit the raised box. Got rid of the leaf spring set-up and made an I-beam style front axle, sectioned the Rad to accomodate lower ride height and shorted the rear bumper.

Its just a simple curbside but was a fun way to burn off a few hours. I`ve never built anything this small before, it was tougher than I thought it would be to modify something so small.

nice build on a very basic kit.

If you feel like putting an engine in it Lindberg makes a ZR1 Vette that has a decent engine for 1/32 scale. :)

Oh yeah sure, now he tells me!! A ZR1 motor would have been very cool. I`d be all over doing that but I glued the hood to the body and theres no going back now. Bummer.
