Hi all, I actually wanted to start with the presentation of my MOCs/Mods in chronological order of creation, but the upcoming release of the 42098 car transporter and the limited number of suitable cars I know of justifies to start with my modification of the 42093 Corvette, the... V10 Muscle car Believe it or not, I got the idea for this car from the Corvette's spoiler. I thought the base form of it would make a good overhanging front/hood part, i.e. like on a '69 Mustang or Camaro. When looking at the front of the blue car from the 42098 car transporter I assume other people also think the design makes a good front part. The car is based on the Corvette's chassis and body with some modifications to allow for 10 cylinders and a more muscle car like body. It's a little shorter than the Corvette though the black rear section seems to shorten it visually even more, but the wheel base is identical. It's WIP because of its issues (see below) and as I'm still undecided about the color of the cylinder head and the pistons and what side of the rims to use. I think the opposite of the rim side used for the Corvette fits a muscle car best, OTOH historic muscle cars also often use modern rims. Maybe I'll use both sides depending on the "mission". I would like to build this car in all black, but as there are no black mudguards yet, I either have to wait or paint some orange ones - I mean you can buy a lot of Corvettes for one 42098, so orange ones will be the cheapest ones to sacrifice. Issues The front lights as well as the rear lights are a little too big IMO, especially when viewing it on the pictures, but when you hold it in your hands they don't look too oversized. The car is also not as stiff as the Corvette, for example the cabin roof is not fixed, so the car can be bend more easily than the Corvette. Same for the dashboard and the front part that is connected to the power dome. There's no hog steering installed ATM, though I think such a mechanism can still be re-installed. I steer it with my thumb.  The inner part of the chassis is a little too low for a muscle car me thinks, but as it's mostly black it doesn't attract too much attention. Features front grill and lights section can be modified/exchanged easily, as can be done for the rear parts, so you can create your personal look or have multiple versions of the same car. I changed the front part already multiple times and am currently preferring the configuration in the pictures. number of cylinders is configurable from 6 over 8 to 10, though the timing is a little weird I assume; the fake engine is connected to the rear axle (same mechanism as in the Corvette) can use various tyre/rim sizes: tyre 43 x 14 with wheel 30 x 14 (front and rear) and tyres 43.2 x 22 ZR or 49.53 x 20 with wheel 30.4 x 20 (rear only) With a change of the driver's position, an additional interior police light, some - though not easily, if at all, recognizable  - modifications to the engine to further improve its power output and some exterior addons/changes like a different grill section with four head lights, a bumper guard to handle obstacles, bigger 49.53 x 20 tyres at the rear axle to actually bring the additional engine power to the road, four exhaust pipes to allow the upgraded engine to breath freely and finally a huge wing to keep the rear on the road, it becomes the... V10 Interceptor I think Max would like it.
Instructions Sorry not yet, but if there's demand I can give it a try. I have another Corvette available to disassemble for it, but am still undecided what tool to use (photo series, stud.io, etc.). Maybe interested people will also just find out what to modify on the Corvette with some additional pictures of the underside and some additional perspectives in detail. So what do you think? A car worthy to be transported with the 42098?
