Dave Strickler's 60 Corvette

[59 Impala]

Here are some pics of the AMT/MPC 60 Corvette that I built as the "Old Reliable Jr".  This is a poor kit with fit issues and the top being warped.  I found the front wheels in a parts box and made the deep wheels for the slicks.

Thanks Christopher.

VERY cool! This car is so obscure it's not even pictured or mentioned in the Grumpy's Toys book. Well done and model on!

Looks great !

Thanks guys, and Snake, I never knew that this car existed.  I've only seen two pictures of it and they are both Black and White.  I guessed on the colors.  If I'm wrong then I will change to the right colors.

Looks real good. I think they only ran this car in early 1962 through the nationals then it was stripped of its lettering and sold.

Nice looking Corvette.

Thanks.  Someone said that the decals should be Blue.  Not sure which is correct, Red or Blue.

Yea I tend to agree I think it had a blue cove and blue lettering . somewhere I either have or have seen a color pitcher. I’ll have to try to remember where.
