Welp, I don't have anyone else to share my Lego interest with so I came crawling back to you like the jellyfish I've become lol.

And since I can't seem to win over anyone with my 70's muscle cars, let's give this new hotness a try.

While it was tempting to just widen the Speed Champions Corvette since it's almost the same car body, the car still didn't look right. Plus, I also wanted to pack as much detail into it as possible.

There are more pictures and build commentary for each of the individual pictures, just click through and enjoy.

Thank you

Here's another feature to add interest, I created suspension for it. This should easily fit into most 8-wide cars:

Shortening the wheelbase by 1 stud resulted in several things becoming more accurate

Ohh, that looks much better! I saw this when first posted, and, although it was nice and complexly built, it seemed too flattened I thought. But shaving a stud's length off the base has made it perfect. Thumbs up!

Yeah definitely, I go into detail on each picture there on flickr. I accidentally based it on the Superbird's wheelbase (something like 116 inches) instead of the Barracuda's (like 10 inches shorter) so I took off a stud.
