Harry's new model car book

Just ordered a copy. I enjoy Harry's builds and hope he can return to building soon. -
1.1 cars that got away
bamadon replied to l88 chevelle's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Like most of you, I have had a number of cars I would like to have back. But the one I miss most was my '67 Corvette convertible. I sold it to get married and now I don't have the car or the wife. Just a couple of faded old pictures of the car. -
I can think of nothing more depressing than to be seriously ill and alone. I sincerely hope the improvements will continue.

New Car Quiz from Americantorque
bamadon replied to Greg Myers's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
84%. Would have done better if I didn't second guess myself. -
Not today but this past week. My wife and I are both retired and receive Social Security. As you may know, there was a small, and I mean SMALL, increase this year for the first time in about 3 or 4 years. So what do they do? They raise the medicare insurance premiums the same amount as the raise. Sure glad we aren't dependent on just SS. I feel sorry for those that are.

Okay, I'll add mine. 2003 triple black Corvette convertible.

I really like the blue roadster. Neat touch with the radio antenna.

I really like that. I actually had a 67 I bought new that was the same color and interior. Mine wasn't an SS though. Just a 327 4 speed car with the SS interior. Thanks for showing this.

Great color.

Really well done. That added details look great.

Excellent job and a great shade of green.

Looks great. Not really a Mopar guy and I had forgotten how wild the fins were on those.

Beautiful job. I really like the black paint job.

Want to build a replica of my 67 Corvette
bamadon replied to bamadon's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Snake, I wish I had pictures of the engine. Only a snapshot of the interior and one 3/4 front. I looked at the 64 Chevy instructions and the engine should work. Mine was a base model 300hp so everything was painted except the air cleaner. It had those valve covers with the raised rectangular area in the center and a decal there. It also had the ram style exhaust manifolds so I think the only missing piece will be the ignition shield. Thanks for your interest. Don -
Want to build a replica of my 67 Corvette
bamadon replied to bamadon's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Great help guys. Guess I need to go Corvette shopping. And a 64 Chevy as well. I like the idea of using the 63 hood and filling in the fake vents. -
Want to build a replica of my 67 Corvette
bamadon replied to bamadon's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Thanks for the replies Snake and Tim. I knew about the hood but forgot to mention it. That could be a problem if there aren't any that will fit the Revell 67.Maybe there is a resin one available. I'll have to search for it. -
In 1968 I had a 1967 Corvette conv. and I would like to build a replica of it. It was a base model with 300 hp v8, ralley wheels, and side pipes. Red with black top and interior. My questions are which 67 conv. to start with? There are 2 versions by Revell, but are they the same. Where can I get the ralley wheels and a base model 327 small block? Possibilities I have seen are 67 Camaro or 67 Chevelle SS396 for the wheels and 64 Chevy low rider for the small block. Any other suggestions are welcome. Thanks for you help.
