C7 Corvette convertible Quickbuilder custom

[Kennyboy]

Color is OPI nail polish Romance on the moon cut with lacquer thinner and airbrushed over HOK goldmine pearl base. Masked and shot satin black, then masked and shot clear for Jake skull on hood. Convertible trunk was from a 98 Corvette kit, cut the top off C7 kit, cut and matched in the trunk section from the donor. Wheels are SRT Challenger wheels from parts box with Tamiya calipers/rotors and Fujimi Toyo Proxes tires. Drilled out headlight projector and installed glass led bulbs for depth. Tailpipes were removed, drilled out, and replaced with chrome penned drinking straws. Really happy with the end result of this build of a very simple kit.

Thank you very much guys. Glad you guys like it.

I really like taking a Quickbuilder, Snaptite, or promo and turning it into something special.
