That’s what I was hoping for. Thanks

It was originally Tamiya racing green but I did not like it much. So I shot some Tamiya TS-9 British green over it then clear coated it with Tamiya TS-65 pearl clear. I like this much better! The pictures really don't do it justice. Before After Before After

Using the straight axle and double blower setup from the kit. Slicks are from an Round2 parts pack. Paint is Tamiya TS-52 lime green with TS-65 Pearl clear coat over a Tamiya matt white base. Front wheels are from the AMT 56 Ford kit. Thanks for looking all comments welcomed.

The white walls are from a newer AMT kit, I like this look.

Another one started in 2015, I had some problems with the paint, so I got another body from eBay for it. Nine years later I took another look at it and decided I could fix the paint problems on the old body. Tamiya paints, Matt white base with TS-17(?) yellow. From 2015 The 2024 repaint. Since I've discovered that yellow was not a factory color in 62, I may put the chrome revers wheels on it from the 58 Vette kit. I'll see how they look. Thanks for looking all comments welcomed.

I thought I would revisit some stalled projects, first up is this AMT 60 Corvette started in 2015. I just now got it painted. All Tamiya paints, Mica red, mica silver, pearl clear over coat.

Ummm. The new Vette does have pose-able steering, or at least it looks like it does. Haven’t gotten that far on my builds yet.

Got some updates, wheels are painted and rear axle is in. I guess I did something right as it sits level. I'll detail paint the wheel cross flags later and I have to check if all the tires are heading in the right direction.

This one is painted Tamiya racing green but I'm thinking of shooting Tamiya British racing green over it.

My solution: I heat the trans tunnel then place the interior Rob over it and push down until the rocking goes away.

Don’t know if you have fixed the riding high issue or not, but the problem is the interior hits on the transmission tunnel. What I do is to heat up the tunnel then push down on the interior bucket until it doesn’t rock back and forth.

Back in the late 1980s, I had a real life 72 Pinto wagon that had the 4 cylinder/4 speed transmission in it. I bought a 74 Mustang this that had the v6/auto. I swapped this into the Pinto and lost top mph. With the 4 it would hit about 87, the six auto topped out at 76! Real life story, sorry I don’t have any pics.
