Greenwood C3 Corvette

[rc garage berlin]

My new project a greenwood C3 Corvette. First of all I have to check if the engine I already have, will fit this concept...This time I want to model the body myself and the doors and hood should be openable.

For me the size and position of the wheels is very important for the look of the car.

This is the engine I want to use for this project. It is a conley clone V8 from Australia. It is a very small engine and it will fit under the flat hood of a Corvette quarter scale car...

What is missing in this picture is the carburetor. If it is a little too high I can make the hood a little higher in the center area.

C3 is such an epic car!!!!

They are very rare on german roads. I loved them even as a child. I wonder if I could still get into a Corvette today?

I think this Skellenger rear would fit the project well and I got one.

But where do I get the axle between the Conley Clone engine and the Skellenger? Does anyone have any ideas? There must be a part to buy....

The motor

A V8 Conley Clone that I bought from Gary in Australia. Unfortunately it was missing a few parts and the clutch was stuck but that was easy to fix.

I built everything in 3D that was necessary to model the manifold for example.

I will also make the full scale air filter myself as you can see on the rendering. The ones you can buy are too small.

Of course I first removed the bright blue color from the starter and the golden color from the valve covers.

I also bought the right spark plug connectors and lowered the ignition distributor.

so incredibly excited for this project.

Interesting to see someone wirking on c3, i made the plug a few years ago, i modelled chassis and found the engine but did not take time to make the mold ,as it's a personal project

Thank you very much, my friends. Today I modeled the dashboard, floor and tires. It looks right, so I think I'm on the right track...

The tires are from Gary in Australia. Very nice quality.

rc garage,

Great model!!! Will you be making few extra bodies to sell? Keep up the great work

Hi Lovedr,

I still have a lot of work to do before I can print the body. But when the 3D files are ready, it won't be a problem to print more. But it won't be cheap. I calculate with 2500-3000 dollars only for the print without finish, painting and stickers. My own Printer is too small and I don't want to assemble it from 50 pieces.

Just a rendering based on the current 3D file...I'm not 100% happy with the wheels...

Sorry, picture was a little too dark
