Nosferatu’s Ride
This started with a sketch I did and proceeded from there. I used the body from the Mysterion and cut it up and extended it about 3/8” forward to the cowl and added the wings and the rear light panel. I did minimal work to the interior adding scratch built gauges with dials and the shifter from the Beatnik Bandit and some sticky felt for the carpeting. I added scratch built tail lights(of which I could have done better work on, but I’m never happy) and the license plate from New Mexico(I like the contrast of colors on it). I left the original engines changing valve covers, adding wiring, changing the position of the drivers side fan belt/pulley assembly, outside exhaust headers from the Boot Hill Express and the inside pipes are aluminum tubing. I also added intake scoops from the Paddy Wagon.
The front is from the Beatnik Bandit. I did a sort of scallop cut to make the points and filled in the underside. I left the open grill and added cut off straight pins for fangs (of course there needs to be fangs on Nosferatu’s car).
Painted black with purple fogging.
Thanks for looking and I hope you like it.
