Outstanding, congratulations!

Ah yes, brings back some good memories. Thank you for sharing.

Great project. Want to wish you the best in the storm and after.

The Corvette is a survivor, just brushed the dust off. The tow car is a Franklin Mint 1958 Edsel I found at an estate sale.

This is an original 1960 AMT Corvette I built back in the day. I think I was inspired by pictures of Big John Mazmanian's 1961 Corvette.

Thanks for the comments. As suggested here are some more pictures, this time with its sister, another AMT Corvette, a 1966 hardtop.

Outstanding weathering on the Bimmer!

The color is spot on and a very nice build. Well done.

As far as I remember the hood came with the body. I think that is what caught my eye in the first place. In searching my Corvette parts box I do have 2 more hoods. One of these could be available to a resin caster if interested.

Outstanding workmanship. Congratulations.

Thanks for the comments guys. This model was loosely based upon the early version of Tero Corvette seen here at Road America. The model was found at a Toledo Toy Fair back in the good old days and had a heavy coat of paint and a broken windshield and not much else. Most of the parts came from the parts box. For those who requested more photos:

Sometimes even a race car needs a jump start. 1965 396 Corvette rescued glue bomb as an A Production racer getting a little help from a Welly Impala SS396.

Outstanding! It is obvious a lot of work went into this model and well executed.

Well done! I too would like to see more photos.

Truly amazing what you were able to accomplish, congratulations.

Very well done, I like it.

Hey Andy, This is going to be great project to watch. Gary

Excellent build and the tire change makes such a great difference.

It is magic, I could have sworn that cage only had 2 sides a few hours ago.

Outstanding build of both off them. The spyder conversion from the coupe is impressive.

David, thank you for the update. I saw this car race back in the day but did not know at the time it had lightweight body panels.

Super collection Jeremy, well done.

Nice builds of these famous Fords. Well done. Gary

Mark, I have been an admirer of your work since I saw your 1st Seven. Amazing. Oh yeah, tell your mother I said hi. Gary

Thanks to all for joining me on this trip down memory lane. Here are a couple more. A '34 pickup pretty much stock. A Revell 1956 pick up. A scratch built dragster with a hand beaten copper body.
