Jet Vette

[Eddie M.]

I had a class A mishap involving Hogzilla (It fell from the ceiling, not good), so decided to start something that been lingering about for sometime. We'll see what happens....

HOLY SCREAMIN' CORVETTE; EDDIE!!!!

The idea is fantastic!!

I picture it as a red, or yellow or bright green bolid going warp 9 on the road!!

this looks like fun

Good to see some familiar parts being put to use.  The combination of Revell Mirage III exhaust, Hasegawa F-104 J-79, and Revell F-4 J-79 intake looks pretty convincing.  Now you need to make some "BEWARE OF JET BLAST" markings for the rear end of the Vette.

Oh, no!!!!  The Hogzilla han't died has it??  That beast must have made a dent in the floor.....  Hope it's repairable Eddie.

But I'm looking forward to this Vette Eddie, looks like it'll be 'going for a burn' in more ways than one!

[Brian da Basher]

Wow is that a cool idea Eddie! I just hope you don't get too many speeding tickets.

Nah, speed camera's won't work that fast & the Police don't have SR-71's!!!

Beats the heck out of this dude's "Super" Beetle jet-car, thats for sure!

Gas mileage has got to suck for that vehicle!

I would not recommend drinking coffee while in that vehicle- you know, sudden stops!  B)  

[Eddie M.]

Thanks for the kinds words folks! B)

I've had to make some adjustments to make this work. I've made the engine shorter and have chopped the car body to add length. Photos this afternoon.....

Ha-ha! Brilliant work!

The brakes may need a bit of an upgrade...

The brakes may need a bit of an upgrade...

See, these are things I need to think about. I figure I've got to lower the front end, beef up the suspension in the rear, add a wing , etc.......

When am I ever going to learn to look before I leap?

That's the nice thing of leaping into a modeling adventure without seeing first, Eddie.

Everything moves towards you when your in flight

I'm sure you will surprise and amaze all of us with this beauty

[Eddie M.]

Thank you Rafa! B) Here's what I've today. Iv'e shortened the engine, cut the frame to stretch it and am contimplating shortening the nose. I'm going to frame the gap first.

Such Corvette would be a must for Apollo's astronauts. They all had Corvettes, but this one would them to the moon directly (no LEM nor Lunar Rover needed!)
