Default My new C7 "Dash Buddy"...

I finally got my new "Dash Buddy" done for the C7.

I gave up waiting for someone to come out with a 1/18 C7 convertible, so I used a 1/24 Maisto.
After A LOT of grinding and cutting, I added Muscle Machine Wheels, tires, and motor.
The wing is off a Jada Fast and Furious car. Paint is GM rattle can Daytona Sunrise Orange touch up...

Yeah, that's kinda the look I was going for...
A cross between a Zinger and a Muscle Machine.
I would have liked a bigger, more cartoon-ish, rear wing, but otherwise I'm happy with it.
