When the pandemic shut down the world in early 2020, people took to TikTok to help relieve the stress and boredom. Many a dance challenge circled the globe over the next several months, including one by @yvnggprince set to Popp Hunna's Adderall (Corvette Corvette). It amassed over 1.4 million likes and tens of thousands of comments and shares. A month later, Popp Hunna dropped a remix with Lil Uzi Vert, with a new music video featuring several of the titular cars and starring a Sebring Orange C8 with black stripes.

MotorMax's replica was a good starting point for this project, being the right color and having many of the correct details straight out of the box. One thing that wasn't quite right is that the model had the roof panel cast in place while the 1:1 was opened up for most of the video. It's a task I've become very familiar with, though I've never attempted it on a diecast before. I masked off the windshield frame and roll bar to protect the paint, then used a cutoff wheel on the Dremel to do the bulk of the cutting. I then went back with files and sanding sticks to do the final contouring and smooth the edges. The glass was all one piece connected via the headliner, so that needed to be cut as well. I left short tabs on each side of the section behind the windshield, then reshaped and painted them to act as sun visors.

Paint was also used for the gaskets on either side of the new opening, the inside of the body, and for touching up the various vents. The stripes are custom decals I drew up based on reference photos released by Chevrolet, which speaks well to MotorMax's casting as the stripes dropped right into place once I scaled them to 1/24. The final detail was an "Adderall" license plate, on a Pennsylvania base in recognition of Popp Hunna's home state.
