Well sorta custom i guess.Its an AW Vette on a Tomy SRT chassis.The car came off the table and busted the hard top for it.I used some tie wire and bent up a roll bar for it and cut a windshield out of some scrap lexan.I think it turned out pretty good!!! :)

Ya need to crash another one so Luke Skywalker can chase that Darth Vader driven Vette around. :p

...But seriously Ryder...nice save. Very clean work. The windscreen is super!:thumbsup:

I pretty well lost the collector bug some time ago and the customs, saves, and junk box builds have become my favorite thing to do. No right and wrong, just freewheeling builds... :woohoo:

Cant wait to see what you come up with next

Or maybe crash three more. In addition to fabbing a "Luke", two white Imperial guards can be added. Then you have the option of having Darth and his "wing men" all chasing after Luke. And all four lanes of the track are seeing action!! :thumbsup:

Definitely a good save! That driver still gets me. Looks like that alien in that 1950s movie except done up in black. :thumbsup: rr

Hi RiderZ,

i try to customize the same Corvette last year. Same model with Tomy Turbo, without frontbumper/grill. For the frontlights i use some little screws.
I think your clear window looks better than the black of my car.

Heres a couple Dash 55's mounted on Tomy SG+ chassis.I added a few decals to them and some color matched rear silicones.The fronts are narrow Wizzard set ups. :)

Here are a couple of Ferrari 512 bodies i got off ebay.There mounted on SG+ chassis.I had to modify the body clip on these to get the bodies mounted correctly.I cut the tabs off the mount and CA glued the tabs to the chassis.Now they sit nice & low. :) I also painted the engine detail in the back as they were molded in the body color.
