camaro73 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Here is one that I have been messing with off and on. I figured I would try to throw this one together but really have not done that much with it yet. I have a hurt hand from an injury a few weeks ago so it is kinda hard to work on anything at the moment. I have had the Baldwin Motion Vette for a while but it was missing the body and the wheels and the motor. I found the rebel racer at Hobby Lobby for $7 and used it as a doner.

Monty Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Brian, any chance you could give us a close-up of those rear tires? I don't recall Revell making a tire that wide. Are they straight out of the box or did you stick two tires together? (Revellogram tires seem to work well for this). This will be a fun project to watch since I can't get enough of the C3 Corvettes, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for a close up shot, my camera is not good enough for that. I will try to get one though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You maybe correct but I have never owned that model so I still couldn't say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Thanks, Brian. I hadn't seen those tires before. Looks like you're off to a good start on this build. I'm curious if you've decided on what color(s) you're going to paint it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freakshow12 Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I have some of those tires in my parts box but have no idea where they came from. Maybe an old ZR1 kit? Had them for years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Graphite Gray Metallic is the plan. That'll look fantastic. Chevy offered a similar color in 1970 called Laguna Gray. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
