Now it needs a blown engine. :lol:

I keep looking at all those muscle machines taking up space at Target :rolleyes: , but now at least they are lowering the prices to help move them. I may go back and get one or two just for parts. :thumbs:

I thought about putting the blown engine on it, but it looked good without it. My Target had a couple of Muscle Machines for $8.88, so I grabbed them just for the heck of it. :cheers:

Dr. Einstein, the people of the village have met :grouphug: and are concerned about your unnatural experiments. They are afraid that you will create something so bizarre that it will come alive :lol: and run amok in the area doing dastardly things to their children. I am afraid they may be right and am ready to yell, ITS ALIVE, and flee as fast as my stubby little legs can carry me.

(It actually looks pro-street to me and very strong) Pretty cool :cheers:

7Vette - Your skills absolutely astonish me. I'm not sure about your backround, but I think you should get a job at Ertl and turn that stinking company around. Your workmanship, at least in photos, is incredible. Would you consider doing a rework on a diecast for me to make it look like my Vette? Please email me if you're interested in a small project like that.

What photo editing software are you using to cut the background out. It is very smooth. Nice work.

Thanks guys! Having built models since the 70's, my first one being Tom Daniel's California Street Vette, it was only natural to put some of my accumulated skills, ideas, and sometimes dementia to work on diecast. This one was relatively easy, and I was able to retain all but the rear section of the original chassis. The trunklid doesn't open, as the hinges had to be shaved to make room for the rubber. I don't collect Muscle Machines, but I've always wondered why there are no 1/18 Corvette Muscle Machines. It must be a licensing thing or something.
Speaking of the EB Z06, I've had to chop up 4 of them for my next project, a Z06 limousine. (Just kidding!)
I don't do any photo editing, I just photograph the car against a white background.
:cheers:

For the right price I'd make a pink one! :lol: :lol: :lol:

By the way, the red one's going to Australia, so pretty soon it'll be upside down.

But you have 4 EB-ZO6's ...So it would be easier to do a blue one! Here is a picture 7Vette sent me...think he's trying to corner the market or what?
