Project MENACE, C3 '72 Convetible

[wellis77]

One of my favorite builds. Can't wait to see all this come together myself!

[FRENCHBLUE72]

72 is my all time favorite year vette...

thx! i checked youre build as well.. looks great..

Here the first pictures of the rear diffuser... at the moment busy with finalizing the def shape... I think the fins should be a bit smaller.. But looks good allready i think.

[FRENCHBLUE72]

Fins need to be shorter and maybe follow the same radius as the bumpers.

I like! The cf one's in the rendering appear milder. I wonder if they would be lost/not as visible if you follow the rendering. Just my personal opinion, but I think they would look better being more pronounced. I've always liked that look on some of the Italian sports cars and some of the race cars out there. Are you going for the mild look?

it will be inbetween render en current.. but closer to current..

Jeff made the first mockup for the fender grills.. The final will be much nicer but allready you can see which direction were moving..

For my opinion.. those sculpted wooden spears are insane and have a modern Badass look.

When they have the final shape they will be machined.








also we finetuned the interior renderings.. I think these stitches really make the design complete..

Amazing!!!

Cool! I'll be watching. You are doing things I would never have guessed would look so good on a C3.

I was talking to Jeff this afternoon by phone.. He has been bussy lately with a whole new thing calles SPECvettes

Can be quite interesting for those who are following my build and are interesting in having one buld themself at a fixed budget.

Whats mostly in these kind of builds is that you have to work with open budget, but SPECvettes gives the opportunity to have a custom car at a fixed budget..

Im not having shares in Heartland.. Just a customer thats enhousiastic about these cars and want to share this with others..

Please note that a car like mine will not be a SPECvette cause its way to custom. A specvette is more to the original but then with all modern technology

They look like these





check

http://www.heartlandcustoms.us/SpecVettes.php

they will build a '66 convertible soon..

And here some pics of the '63 coupe that theyve build before and can be considered as a Specvette, but was build when the didnt offer this proposition.














as i said.. no shares or other connection with heartland then that they are doing my build at this time.. Just hoping by telling this that this gives opportunities to some guys that are considering to do something like this and this make it reachable..

and if not.. enjoy these nice pics above..))
