    C3-coupe/MercedesBenz-540K replica! Racing-SB-V8!

    Default Corvette-C3 Modern-art, what'doyah-think

    BerlinaBob here: -seems a prestine '80Vette-coupe got "totally" left/T-boned by an overly-agressive Dodge-truck (Viper's-revenge); --Undaunted, pos.-minded Sculpter- DaveMartin chainsaw-in-hand cleverly sliced-off 16"-along the remaining right-side, and created a truly handsome Gentleman's-den conversation piece, -if increasingly-valuable piece of modern "wall-sculpture" (hey, -he can still polish her occassionally; and touch the door-handle to hear recorded her once thundering-powerplant in action with lights blinking!). He's already turned-down the offered going-price of a C3; --your comments, & suggestions for a suitable brass/Title-plate "inscription" are desired...

    It is cool, but you don't have to kill a car or take a "killed" car to do that.

    There are enough pieces here and there including doors that are rusted out on the inside, etc. to assemble the body panels together, smooth them over, and adorne a sweet paint job.

    I like it a lot, but would have been more tempted to get another frame, driver's door, etc. and rebuild the original crashed car than to make the wall art.

    There has to be a good race driver quote concerning "hitting the wall" that would fit quite well here.

    Default brass/Title-plate "inscription"

    "SPLIT PERSONALITY" or
    "COMING IN FROM THE RAIN" or
    "CORVETTE PARKING ONLY" or
    mount a clock on the passenger window & call it "THE WORLDS LARGEST WALL MOUNTED CORVETE CLOCK" or
    "I'D BE DRIVING IT, IF ONLY I COULD GET IT THROUGH THE DOOR"

    LMAO, I love it.

    I think it's very unique (in a good way).

    I dont think I can beat that "The wife got half of everything", so I'm not even going to try.
