[1969-1970 Chevy Pickup grill and bumper]

I've searched this forum and about everywhere else, looking for info on a 1969 or 1970 Chevy pickup grill and bumper if anyone has cast one. I'd like to convert the 1972 kit to tribute a build of a buddies 1970

[Fully detailed Pagani Huayra..Under Glass]

Wow, Dann, this is outstanding. Really enjoying seeing the build in progress of this one

[65' Impala]

Well done! Excellent craftsmanship with this build. A show-winner!

Excellent build of this rare kit. Great restoration, you knocked it out of the park!

[C7 Corvette convertible Quickbuilder custom]

Nice work! I like the conversion, well done

[Let's Post Our Snap Kits!]

Wow, everyone's Snaptite builds look great! I enjoy doing a bit of extra work to make a Snaptite kit look different, here's several of mine.

Very Cool project... Is that #6 you have completed..?   If so.. wich ones have you done..?

Thanks, Dave. Yes, this is the 6th of 16 I have completed. Here are the other 5 completed so far

 

[66 Le Mans winning GT40]

Wow! That's stunning

[Hot Wheels Tribute 1/25 Custom Cougar]

I have been on a building quest of re-creating the original Sweet 16 Hot Wheels cars from 1968. This is #6, the Custom Cougar.

Started with the Modelhaus 1967 Cougar, shaved the door handles, emblems, wipers, and drip rails. Molded in the hood "bumps" most all Hot Wheels have some variation. Wheels are Pegasus "T's" big and little's, used a black and red Sharpie to recreate the Redlines. Aluminum tubing for the "zoomies" side exhaust. 

Color is Peridot - FolkArt craft paint and several coats of Duplicolor clear polished. Interior I used Desert Beige to replicate the darker interior color. 

The Hot Wheels Diecast

[67 Corvette (Monogram)]

Very nice! Great color choices

[AMT 1969 Mercury Cougar CJ428]

Nicely done! I like the finish as well for a stock build.

['77 Trans Am "NOT BURT"]

I like this! Well done TA

Thanks. I'm glad you weren't offended. 

As to C6, you'll have to school me. I know C4 is 1984 to 90-something, after that I'm a little fuzzy on C5, C6, and C7.  I've bought several "late" Corvette promos and diecasts in the last year or so but I'd have to look at them to tell you what they are. Not sure if I have a red one, though. I've kind of been concentrating on the metallic maroons and rust/brick reds. I know I have another 2005 diecast just like this one in the pretty metallic brick red. 

Come to think of it, I could do at least a trio of Corvettes in maroons and brick reds. I did a '62 in Honduras Maroon and a '91 (?) ZR1 in metallic brick red. I did a '67 roadster in Testor Mythic Maroon, which isn't really an authentic color, but I"m planning to do both '67 Coupe and Roadster builds in Marlboro Maroon. Pretty sure I have a C5 or C6 diecast or promo in the metallic brick red, too. 

Man, I gotta get all that stuff sorted out sometime soon....

No offense at all!

Corvette generation layout:  C1 > 1953-1962  / C2 > 1963-1967 / C3 > 1968-1982 with three variations I call C3.1 > 1968-1972 / C3.2 > 1973-1979 / C3.3 > 1980-1982  - NO 1983 model Corvette even though it was the 30th Anniversary. C4 > 1984-1996 with two variations of the front and rear bumpers and interiors 1984-1989 and 1990-1996 / C5 > 1997-2004 / C6 > 2005-2013 / C7 > 2014-current  

 

Sounds great, do a brick/maroon theme, can't wait to see them, I'm a Vette nut by the way...

Cool concept and even better execution! That C3 is easily one of the nicest renditions I've seen of that particular era.

Are you planning on additional generations to expand this group or perhaps apply a similar theme using a different car in place of the Corvette? 

Mike 

Thanks, Mike, appreciate the comment and the C3 has become one of my favorite builds, I owned an 81 for 6-months back in the 80's.

Yes, I'm building all generations in this same theme, a complete C1 to C7. Next on the bench is a 1990 C4. I'll also be building the other two C3's because they are different, a C3.1 -1969 / C3.2 - 1976.

[63 Corvette]

Looks great, nice work on this basic kit especially

Jim, I like these so much--especially that '63--that I've returned to this thread several times to look at them again. Today I realized it might be fun to pay tribute to your collection by trying to replicate this photo with three of my own LRCs. Mine are all stock and not nearly as nice as yours, but it was fun to try to try to replicate your pic. Hope you don't mind!  Revell '63 Snapper, unpainted polished red plastic; AMT '70 snapper curbside, unpainted polished red plastic; unmodified 2005 cheap diecast. 

 

Snake, that's cool, thanks for the tribute picture, yours all look great, even the diecast, you should build a C6!

Sweet, clean, and SHINY x 3.

What is the source of those wheels/tires.  I like them.

Jim, thanks, the wheels are Pegasus Elite wheels and the deep rears are Pegasus aluminum sleeves that the smaller wheels slide into

[Lil' Red Corvettes]

Thanks everyone for the nice comments, appreciate the feedback.

[Lil' Red Corvettes]

I am building a series of Corvettes with the same Bright Red paint, wheels/tires, and tan interiors

 

 

[1977 Mustang II]

Well Done! Nice detail work
