I was just looking at some of the various "left over" body parts I have and this car just screamed to be created. It is still in the early stage but I think it's coming along pretty well.

Nice bit of fabricating you've done there.. I see the vette, kinda looks porsche-ish int the nose.. Is that a J car nose for the back?? Dang!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

The front end is a Lola. I think the J front end makes an awsome rear.

That's some very impressive whittlin' !

Looks like a TVR !

ok, now that's cool. johnny cash has got nothin' on you... :thumbsup:

WOW!!!!!!!!

very cool! Can't wait to see it come along!

Great looking parts car! That is a one off body for sure.

Bob...will be great all painted up...zilla

Once you clean up the A pillar and shoot a base coat, SWEET. Great combo. :thumbsup::thumbsup: rr

No pressure.....but.....

Ya should give some thought to popping a few of those out for the upcoming HOHT auction.

What's taking so long?

BTW? Do it have a name?

I'd definitely order a couple if you cast those. :thumbsup::thumbsup: rr

We can have a whole " Frankenstein " car category !


Neal:dude:

Pretty cool! :thumbsup:

Agree: the J front end makes an awsome rear & would never have thought to use it that way. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Very creative !! ..RL

Sweet custom Oddy. Get some paint on it already!!!!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup: nd

Frankenvette lives... and looks good doin' it too!

Really love that "Lolette J"!!!

She´s crying out loud for a bath in moldmaking silicone... :rolleyes:

Thanks for all the kind words guys! Unfortunately i haven't done casting in a long time so all my chemicals went bad but I might in the future. The other issue is the door "sill" area. It extends into the interior cavity which might make pulling a mold tough. I still have to work the A pillars and bend up a windshield. That and the tail end needs a little tweeking on the center point. Once all that is done then I'll toss some paint on it.
One of the influences on this car was a little "works" Sprite that was featured on Bringatrailer.com. The car looks nothing like a street Austin Sprite. I figure if they could call that car a Sprite then I could also make up a race version of a street car and give it that name. I just don't know what car to claim it was based on. Certainly not a vette as in my mind my car is smaller than a vette and there were plenty of Vette racers to choose from so why would a privateer modify a vette this far? That and my car is hammered from aluminium. I think this car is based on an "E" type chassis with a V-12. That's the advantage to playing with toys. I get to make the rules.

Now THATS pretty sharpe. I didn't expect to see something like that when I opened the page. Can't wait to see if finished.

Really love that "Lolette J"!!!

Great idea Claus. All we need now is a volunteer caster and hopefully a willing donor. I'd be willing to buy some. ;) rr

That's the ticket.
I had to putty up where the wheel fender didn't meet up with the cobra body, As soon as that dries it's primer time.
