Ferrari Daytona Shooting Brake
It can't be an FF since it's two wheel drive…
Or would it be a 365 GTB/4 Kammback? (It's actually based on a rebodied Corvette.) I started with a sealed kit of the Miami Vice roadster; the deck lid and right side door were scarred from one of the tires. 90% of the deck damage was fixed by cutting off the deck. Guess it was destined for this idea… The rest was filled and sanded out. About ˝ inch of the leading edge of the soft top was used to mate to the windshield frame. The Gremlin roof was cut down height-wise and lengthened. The sides of the roof were reshaped and refined with strip styrene and filler. I changed the shape of the rear window and added trim. Instead of using the glass as the hatch I removed the hinges and scribed in new panel lines Like a Vega Kammback. Many wagon conversions suffer from poor tailgate/hatch design. To try and negate that issue, and to keep the theme of the original car, I integrated the Daytona trunk line on the back panel. Getting close to adding the B pillar… |

Re: Ferrari Daytona Shooting Brake
When I built the Gremlin kit a few years ago I wasn't impressed with the soft and uneven molding of the body detail behind the quarter windows. I sharpened it up on this one with a couple strips of styrene.
And a simple B pillar. |

Re: Ferrari Daytona Shooting Brake
Very interesting idea, and the execution looks spot-on so far.

Re: Ferrari Daytona Shooting Brake
Thanks Guys!
To make the rear windows I used the Gremlin tinted pieces. I trimmed the back one down and cut the side windows out of the windshield. |

Re: Ferrari Daytona Shooting Brake
I cut the rear off the Daytona interior and the front off the Gremlin's and mated them together. A decent amount of putty was needed to smooth the transition on the inside, but the AMC part fit into the Chevy frame like it was designed to do so.

Re: Ferrari Daytona Shooting Brake
I went with a Navy Blue undercoat for the Metallic Blue final coat. When I decide what shade I want to use…

Re: Ferrari Daytona Shooting Brake
I wanted a dark metallic blue, but this may be too dark…
I'll think on it a bit. |

Re: Ferrari Daytona Shooting Brake
I added texture to the blue paint to "carpet" the blended area of the two interior pieces.
The dash was hand detail painted and the gauges are decals from the Scale-Master '78 Pace Car sheet I drew for the Revell-Monogram kit. |

Re: Ferrari Daytona Shooting Brake
The wheels and tires also benefitted from the same Corvette decal sheet.
I used the crossed flag logos for the center caps too. |

Re: Ferrari Daytona Shooting Brake
That does look a lot like Gremlin!
Too bad only a few Ferraris were ever made into shooting brakes. This one comes to mind:

Re: Ferrari Daytona Shooting Brake
That one looked too much like the K-Type Trans Am for me, (which I like too).
I wanted a simpler design. I do like the rear end treatment on it though. As far as I know it is the only Daytona Brake. |

Re: Ferrari Daytona Shooting Brake
The front half of the interior is box-stock except for the addition of the console and steering wheel decals from the same Pace Car sheet.

Re: Ferrari Daytona Shooting Brake
I went with a full coat of Deep Metallic Blue to brighten the near black Dark Mica Blue.
