I'll do something similar but I'll wait until I can get another one in bad condition cheap and cut and glue an exact piece. I don't mind doing that either black.
That corvette cowling I don't know what to do with because the decks are horrible for its correct model. Cheap alloy casting that out of the 4 I have only 1 that doesn't need serious bending or clamping massive cracks and then a heap of welding and the alloy is so cheap and lightweight that I'm guessing high levels of aluminium so tough enough to weld that this is work a boiler maker of many years might go this will be interesting.
So I'm open to idea's but I think it's getting mounted with some memorial plaque about how I got it or something like that. Either to go in a case made of good quality clear PVC so everything can be seen.
I would swap it but only for 1 of 2 things a Red 73-74 Mustang
Or a Purple and Blue VC-SPORT without holes in the cowling. I could add more but they are the only 2 things that would sway my mind......
