Hi folks,

I finally made some photos of my JL Vette I converted to a roadster already a year ago.

Cut away the hardtop, fitted the windshield and added some silver trim, then built a rollbar from square styrene sanded to "almost round" shape and finally put a resin driver behind the wheel.

The car´s already seen a lot of tracktime (8 hours endurance race, a bunch of 3 min. heat races and of course my hometrack) and shows a bit of "patina", but she still looks fine (to me...)!

Dude behind the wheel is definitely smiling! :) Sweet conversion :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Any plans to add some meatball numbers and some black 'tape' lines over the headlights and really go old school style with it?

Super nice job Claus!!! Doba's right!! That is one happy driver!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

:thumbsup::thumbsup:




:dude:Neal

Great looking Vette, especially the driver :thumbsup::thumbsup: Nice detail work!!! RM

great looking! :thumbsup::thumbsup: rr

Clause that is great but, I think he needs a bucket of KFC or some Fast Food to keep him going on those long drives. lol

Bob...thanks for posting these Kool pics up man...zilla

That corvette rocks! :thumbsup:

Wes

That corvette rocks! :thumbsup:

... sure as heck does!!! I think some meatballs/numbers and sponsors are definitely called for. Only one thing nicer would be another one so you and your son have a matched pair to race with!!! :hat::hat:.... the more the merrier. nd

very nice looking Vette:thumbsup:

Great Looking Vette! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: ..RL

Wrap your A$$ in fiberglass, Nice job Claus.

SWEET... love the detail on the driver!

Sweet Vette :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Nice job Claus, as usual!

Hi guys,

thanx for all those positive comments - ´nuther Dave´s proposal made me dig thru my junkyard boxes and do ´nuther one. Never really liked that purple Vette, but now not only me, but my son also LOVE HER! :)

Although they both won´t look that nice for too long (racing and especially those lane code stickers will hurt the present finsih...) I think they were worth the "work":
