I bought this 1/20th MPC 1970 1/2 Corvette on eBay as a built up glue bomb in 2005
This project started momentum as a responsive reaction to Tim Nolan's Bad Fart Corvette Gasser (brilliance!)
The front Mako Shark piece was molded in and headlights filled in using Bondo automotive filler
The rear louvers were also filled in to the body with Bondo
The vertical front fender vents were removed and horizontal ones formed from strip styrene
The engine was pieced together from several 1/20th Corvette kits to recreate what would be available in 1971
The headers are formed from solder and aluminum tube
The recent Chuck Wagon donated it's chassis and front and rear wheels and running gear
The wheelie bars are aluminum tube stock ending with the original kit plastic wheel hubs
The interior bucket from a 1980 Corvette was fitted minus the passenger seat.
Paint is metallic purple with Plum clear lacquer and the interior is Prowler Orange (Cobra Colors)
Decals from Slippery Arts [ Beantown.. Boston (baked) Beans.. Gas.. Gasser.. Farts.. Bad Fart ]
Thank you Tim Nolan for the inspiration and motivation
