RDean58

Started back in 2015, this AMT kit is an adventure. The front and rear bumpers did not fit well so there was a lot of sanding and puttying done to correct it. Painted Testors Fiery Orange with wet look clear, interior is Tamiya TS-69 linoleum deck brown. The 454 has the single 4bbl intake. Tires are from the new release MPC 70 Bonneville kit. I still have some fitment issues to deal with. I also have an MPC 74 Corvette convertible painted the same color that I am building as a companion piece to this one.

Somewhat of a partial kit, I started this one in 2015. Tires/wheels and brakes (I think) are from a Revell 59 Corvette kit, painted Tamiya TS-20 metallic green. This will have the "bag of snakes" side pipes and a tri-power 454 big block.

Started in 2015, painted Tamiya TS-97 pearl yellow with TS-69 linoleum deck brown interior. This one has a singe 4bbl big block and kit supplied custom mags, tires are from Model Haus.

Started back in 2015, I am finally getting around to finishing it. Painted Testors Nassau blue with Tamiya TS-54 light metallic blue interior. This will have the tri power big block in it.

You're looks great! I thought the AMT wheels were just too shallow for this car, that is why I used a set from an M P C vette. I have seen the M.P.C. Units resin copied as they work great on Chevelles and Novas too.

Its a difference in the way they went together. I need to look at the 70 and see if the interior shifted when I put the frame on.

Finished today, painted Testors' Hugger Orange with Tamiya TS-13 clear, box stock except for the Firestone tires from an MRC tire/wheel combo. Thank you for looking, all comments welcomed.

Completed Friday August 14, painted Testors' fathom green metallic with Tamiya TS-65 Pearl clear. Tires are Model Haus while the wheels are from the AMT 70 Impala kit. Thanks for looking, all comments welcomed

Got this one finished Friday, Testors' flame red with Tamiya TS-65 pearl clear, MPC open corvette wheels, parts pack AMT tires. Thanks for looking, all comments welcomed.

This one is done, and is now in the finished models section. Thanks to all that commented.

Started in February 22, 2015, completed August 10, 2020. Painted Tamiya TS-54 light metallic blue, interior is Testors Nassau blue. Thanks for looking, all comments welcomed.

Cool Conversion.

Thanks for looking, all comments welcomed.

I found out on these that if you cut the trans tunnel off the frame (the raised area) that the tire/wheel to fender clearance looks a lot better. Make sure the engine site in the frame correctly by putting the body on then glueing in the engine. Also it helps if you put the exhaust system on first before putting the engine in.

Wow thanks. I've often wondered if anyone besides me visits my website, it's great to know at least one other person does ?

I started a lot of these back in 2015, this one hit the bench February 22 of that year. Got the engine done, frame modified, then put it in the box. Today I gave it a couple coats of Tamiya TS-54 Light metallic blue and shot the interior with Testors Nassau blue. I'm hoping I'll get this one done in a few days, thank you for looking, all comments welcomed.

Really good for a problem child! Great color and it turned out really well.

Originally molded in yellow, I undercoated it with silver then shot Tamiya TS-50 Mica blue over it. It turned out really well. This does not have a clear coat. Started back in September 2015, just got it done today. Non stock tires and wheels, I believe these are some from Pegasus. I'll need to stick a license plate on this soon. The Corvette "Fleet" so far. The red one is actually a promo 1979 since I could not find a 1/25 scale kit of one. Thanks for looking, all comments welcomed

Thank you for the complements! Yes, the original kit comes with the metal springs. NOT the new release kit with the same box cover. Here is the original kit. I was able to get a few of these original MPC kits from ebay for reasonable prices a few years ago. Don't know about now but I scored these which I need to build as well. 1977 1980 1981 1982

Painted the Testor's Plum Crazy enamel. This was started around 2000. Completed June, 26, 2020 Thanks for looking, all comments welcomed.

Started July 24, 2015 and finished yesterday, July 19th. Color is (I think) Tamiya TS-50 blue. Silver interior and a luggage rack from an AMT 70 Corvette. AMT RWL tires with the kit supplied factory rally wheels. Air cleaner is the custom unit from the Revell 64 Impala. This was a fun little kit to put together. A mystery big block, as 1975 Corvettes came from the factory with 350 small blocks! Thanks for looking, all comments welcomed.

After five years, this one is finally off the bench and on the shelf. Painted with Tamiya TS-64 dark mica blue with testors Nassau blue interior. AMT RWL tires from somewhere. I really need to learn how to use those Molotov pens! I know tri-power big blocks were not available in 1975. But, this one had a crate motor 502 installed sometime in it's life :-) Thanks for looking, all comments welcomed.

Started in December of 2015, I finished it up today. Glad this one is done! I don't remember what color it is painted, I think it was a testors auto lacquer teal but am not sure. Box stock with modifications to the frame to get the suspension sitting a bit lower, it's now almost stock height :-) Simple all black interior, hence the lack of interior shots. Below is a group shot of the ones I've gotten done this month, all except for the 2012 silver kit, that one was done a few years ago. Thanks for looking, all comments welcomed.

Interior seats, side panels, and dash painted. El Camino Chevelle Thanks for looking, all comments welcomed.

Black trim done. The silver paint is just an undercoat.
