I know the idea has been introduced before, but since I actually drive one of these cars I thought that, for my first TF kitbash, I'd turn Classics Cliffjumper into a Dodge Neon (apologies for the crummy-quality pictures):









It's a little rough, but it turned out better than I thought/feared it might. The only thing it's missing are license plates. It'd be cool if I could buy a giant Autobot rubsign for the roof of my car to make them match.

did you repaint the headlights or shape them?

[Glarryg]

I actually shaped them with a Dremel before painting them.

Thats great. How did you re-shape the front end?

[Lord Megatron Decepticon]

That's really cool. Reminds me of the Dogdge Neon on NFS Underground lol

But really awesome job ya done aye!

[Glarryg]

Thats great. How did you re-shape the front end?

I filled all the pre-existing gaps (grills, etc.) with epoxy putty, filed them down, then used the Dremel engraving attachment for the details. That part didn't take as long as I thought it would; it took longer to figure out what I wanted to do about the doors, and getting the back end just the right shape took a while, too.

so all the re-shaping was done with putty? No styrene or anything like that? Cool.

Wow man. Sweet stuff. Any chance we'll see an '87 Mustang GT soon?

Great job on the Neon! I like him better than the Hasbro Cliffy. Why don't you trim his horns. He'd look less BumbleeBee that way.
