Jim's '63 Corvette for 2013

[jwhalen]

Hi Guys,

This has been one of my projects since August 2012 in preparation for our theme display this year. I'm building the AMT '63 split window Corvette & doing the drag option. However, I've decided to make it a more detailed and up to date build by kitbashing and modifying things.

Firstly, I modified the chassis from a Revell '67 Corvette as I wanted to keep the drag slicks within the body.



The initerior is a mix of the Revell '63 snap coupe kit and AMT parts - with the rear narrowed to fit the modified chassis.



Here is a mock up before commiting to paint.



The colour will be Daytona blue and the engine will be the blown bbc from Revell's 1968 Corvette kit. All the parts are primed and the body parts have received the basecoat as well.

Any comments and suggestions always welcome!

Cheers,

[Dave Neave]

Looks like you're off to a good start.
How about a mock up pic? You're just teasing us at the mo...

Hi,

Thanks for the comment Dave. The last pic is the mock up! I haven't gotten as far as mocking it up with engine, wheels, etc. I think it'll go together o.k.?!
