Steve_L Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 The Atlanta Car Model Enthusiast (ACME) Southern Nationals show was held on November 15, 2014, at Smyrna, Georgia. At the ACME meeting on November 9, I realized that I did not have entries for the Southern Nationals show theme of "Race on Sunday, sell on Monday." I, like some others, interpreted the theme to require two models, a racer and a stocker. So I decided to build a stock 1957 Corvette to go with my 1957 Corvette gasser race car. These are pictures of the car I built. It was very much out of the ordinary for me, since I completed the build in only 5 days. I used Duplicolor primer and Duplicolor GM Bahama Blue Metallic paint with Duplicolor clear. I added ignition wires, rubber radiator hoses and a fuel injection unit from my parts box. I enjoyed the challenge of the short time frame, although the two builds weren't award winners. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve_L Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 Stunning! But were Vettes offered in that color in 57? The closest color for a 1957 Corvette was probably Harbor Blue. However, I was more interested in a color pleasing to me rather than 100% historical accuracy. Thanks for your feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your feedback. I used Duplicolor Tan Upholstery spray paint for the interior. I find it (and other upholstery colors) at our local auto parts stores.
