'53 Vette Streamliner


Brianl

Recommended Posts

This started life as a donated part-started kit (thanks Bruce)

I didn't realise how close to a classic '50s streamliner the basic original Corvette was if you took off the screen & chrome work
There will be a rigid single seat cockpit cover & fairing & some wheel spats if my scratch skills let me get that far.

Keeping the six with a supercharger to keep it period

The patches on the boot lid cover large holes I had to cut in the fold between the guard & boot to clear the wheels & keep it all low enough. Still a lot of body work to go obviously.
Anyway it should be something different !!!

Thanks or the good comments. Realy enjoying how this is turning out & I'm glad I kept the six.

Colour will be Tamiya Camel Yellow with some red trim although I don't know what yet

Body is almost done. Latest pics will give you an idea of where I'm heading
