This model started out with a custom made engine. The block was made from plastic rods and sheet plastic. The oil pan and bell housing was shaped from clay. I added some big Ford valve covers and Weber carbs and we're ready to rock. I had to make some cuts in order to turn this Vette into a streetrod. I added some tail fins, replaced the big rear glass window, removed the front fenders and created a custom grille using pieces of the original Vette front end. I also widened the tire openings on the rear fenders. Return to Coupes Car Models page
