Nice project.

Bruce was offering up Repros of the Vette, not sure if they are still available or not. I don't see the pics on the site anymore:

That red corvette is you Gary just think you could mount some salty teeth on the front or maybe you could add some bull horns to the hood

ok so loads of mods done today cut in the brake luvures on the front made the doors narrow increased the leading angle of the rear fenders and started the same angle at the bottom of the B post .
So i will be cutting in the rear wheel tommorow , thanks Al for the info

I'm surprised some of you are unfamiliar with the Corvette Summer movie car. How about the Corvette in Death Race 2000?

The Corvette Summer movie car is great, I fell in love with that car back when that movie came out. I still have it on VHS and watch it every now and then. the Black 70 Trans Am in that movie was great also until the flipped it.

Ok so all most finished with one side it took about 15 hours to do the changes ,well that does include eating, drinking T, scratching ass,smoking cigs and doing some stereotypical sculptor pose,s for the dogs so lets call it 10 hrs as there was alot of T. I am hoping to get the light buckets done for tonight leaving only to mimic the other side .

you can see the difference in left and right with a more acute angle it seems to take on a more menacing stance

So one down turned out good i liked the bug eyed design because it will hide two second stage apertures as you can see i have the hands of a 60 year old coal miner

quite a bit of dedication here Paul... looking forward to the finished product!!!

X2!

thanks for the comments
i would say i have about thirty hrs into it if i had to put in a days continuous work and after doing this i realize it would have been easier to scratch build it but you got to love the learning curve
