Yuk!

Grafted 57 Chevy front and 59/60 rear onto something?

Why?

[KS]

Because he could (as in 'could show a lack of taste'...). I think it's based on a Corvette. Poor Corvette.

Got to love an Amazon . This was my first effort at a Kustom twenty odd years ago . Six inch chop . Standard engine and running gear , solenoid door locks, Grille made up from Zephyr over riders and seats from an Interceptor . Loved it .

Having chopped two cars in my 'hot rod' life in the 70's/80's I know the work that went into that.
did you cut the glass or is it all plastic?
Looks convincing though!
Do you know where the car is now?

I have found my first hotrod is in the USA and the second in Germany!
Just as well as I would like either back....

The smell and noise of those auto unions and mercedes will stay with me forever, that and Jackie Stewart nearly spinning one on a demo lap . Made me realise how heroic Nuvolari etc really were to cope at racing speeds.

Nice colour though
