Toon Time GS 001 - ToonGS 008

This album is of a cartoon version of the Corvette Grandsport roadster as it raced at Sebring in 1966. The inspiration for this build was provided by Gary Kulchock's version of a coupe version. I enjoyed his so much that I had to have one of my own (seeing as he wouldn't sell his). Not to be a complete copycat, I did mine as a roadster. Gary provided the master for the wheel inserts and all the creative insperation that went into his.
This took a couple-a-hundred hours the same as his.
I bought a 69cent action figure as the basis for the driver and reclothed him in soaked tissue. I borrowed the mouth for the head but the rest is from scratch.
I did the artwork for the decals and printed them on a laser printer.
Most of the pictures speak for themselves.
Enjoy! I know I did.

I decided to reuse the ouside ring from the kit wheel and not remove the flange from the sidewall
