This project was an insane amount of work! The original Corgi Jensen was a bizarre mess, with a 2-part chassis and gloppy paint. I knew from the start I would have to make a new chassis and interior from scratch.
The body has extensive modifications, including a front valance, grille with headlights, and rear end mods. The only part of the car I didn't have to change was the glass! The wheels are specially modified 6-spoke from a variant on a 2-part Hot Wheels wheel. It took a long time to find just the right ones.
All 16 parts of this car (body, grille, glass, chassis, interior, dashboard, roll bar, steering wheel, 4 wheels, 4 tires) are resin cast. This was very time consuming but well worth the effort to make something unique! Once the body was painted there were a lot of decals to apply and details to paint.
This project took several months to complete, finally wrapping in March of 2016..
