I've had this one on and off the bench for close to a year. For some reason the wheels I wanted to use just didn't do it for me. This kit is the wonderful Revell 67 Corvette kit. The wheels came from the recent reissue of the Revell 50 Ford F-1. The engine is a 427, with a cross ram intake. The heads and water pump have been painted aluminum to represent aftermarket parts. The headers and sidepipes will be added after the body is painted (not shown). The engine is all box stock. The interior is box stock except for the addition of the Racing bucket seats from AMT's F&F 70 Monte Carlo. It is done in black and blue. The brush stroke are not as visible in person. The dash has white face gauges, and the steering wheel from AMT's 55 Belair (not shown) I shaved the bumpers and filled the rear exhaust ports in the body for a cleaner look. Aside from the wheels, seats and steering wheel, this is box stock. It is far from finished, but I hope you like it.

Sorry, Bob. The Wheels just spoke to me, they said "Corvette".

I have been neglecting this build, In favor of TRaK-able builds. I have been doing a little work on it. here is the most recent mock up. I decided to keep it a single colour, Dupli-color Melatspeck Blue. Comments welcome, good or bad.
