Purple MEDUSA Chasis # 004 is Alive and For Sale

[mikesax]

OK-one more comment seeing I've been quiet of late! One of the MANY things I loved with my 2010 verts were the lines with the roof off!! The slight hump in the folded down convertible top coupled with the roll bars gave ME a COMPLETED design feel!! Look at the vette a couple posts ago-the seats don't have that "tucked in" effect!! They just jut up-that FAUX aerodynamic flow of the roll bar / humped convertible cover is to this day one of the nicest design elements I've ever seen in a convertible!!!!!!!

Ok, decided to do a PS with one of the Tomball FB page pics. Werent the greatest pics to work with, but did what I could with one of them. I looked for a good pic to use for the roll hoops and just couldnt locate one in the time frame I had to do this. So I decided to use a Lemke hardtop and go from there. Added Aero kit, Vossen wheels, Lemke hardtop, blacked-out reflectors and lowered it.

Nicely done Austin! Can't wait to see it with the roll bar/top off!!

[FLATOUT]

I like it Austin minus the Vossen wheel.

I have zero talent with photoshop...maybe Austin can doctor something like this up....luckily I seem to have the ability to make what I see in my head...
I think a roll bar with Padded cover... specifically designed to work with one of our two piece soft top covers re-designed with some type of bump or detail that mimics the lines of the Gen V center dip and also would pay homage to the RT/10 look... (that is able to fit in the trunk) would make the back of the car feel a little shorter...just my thoughts

Likey - Likey!

I'm with you. This is what they should have done in the first place - no offense to coupe guys but the top has got to come down to be a real sports car - IMHO.

I can't believe how beautiful the Gen V is as a Vert. No wonder the other generations always came out topless first.

I like your idea much better Steve, but even still that flip up at the edge of the trunk lid just does not look right to me. I have always been a huge fan of the Gen I car from the B pillar back. That GTS flip up just does not fit on the Gen V's body lines.

that car with areo would change the whole look of that car, it needs it bad... nice car

I am sure the guys at Prefix had a design direction they where headed with this. and who knows?...this may be the direction SRT was going with it?
I personally would do the trunk lid a bit differently...I have a pretty good idea of what I would do...(more of the lines and heritage of the GenV design...not the GenIII with a coupe back end... maybe I'll get a shot at it...integrated aero would be interesting.
That all being said...they did a really nice job on this car... I saw the first one in Detroit...fit and finish are great.

Remember 1999..a long time ago...I didn't just do this....but I still like alot of things about it.
I did however make the hardtop and added the stripes and worked with Tony on the new interior a few years ago for it's current owner...

[Canadian venom]

Thanks for the pics

[Schen]

Damn! I remember that car! Any more pics in it's current configuration? You do awesome work Steve. Did you turn a coupe into a Comp Coupe for a gentleman in Canada?

Love the color! Let's get prefix to do a Targa top!!! That's where it's at.

[Dman]

It needs aero and it needs an autoform in it. The track look of the autoform gives the car a subtle yet distinct personality change. Putting the autoform in my gen4 just made it a bit more masculine looking. IMO the medusa looks a bit soft, autoform & aero = smoking hotness.
