57 Corvette kustom

[monster]

Here is the base:


Of this kit I have not more than the body, the engine and the rolling trains having left joining my Ford 40 Gasser


The idea is to make of this Corvette a hard-line kustom. With all the outfit, top - chop, fenders, continental kit etc....
It is thus going to need to block the hood before and the passages of back wheels.



The amounts of windscreen are chopped then the roof is repositioned



Fenders will be molded in the body:


Filling and first sanding:







She has rather a good mouth with wheels (not definitive)

Nice job, while a kustom corvette is not a new idea, they are rarely done these days. I'll be watching this one.

The more you do, the better the idea becomes. It was a little questionable at first where this would be going.

Continuation...
I am now going to make for her one continental kit. After several tries here is what I held as idea.
I worked again wings rear to integrate them lights of Chevy 57 with a roll piece which comes of I do not know where? After that filling and sanding.


And here is where I am there today

Really like the look of the top.
Would rather see the fenders taper back to the top of the tail light without that little 'swoop', but this should look cool.
Looks like you have a few other builds in the "mud" stage.

I agree with Clay on the "swoops" at the rear lights. Great looking idea, but the swoops remind me of a Kaiser J.

Any more progress?
