Looks fantastic.

Damn sharp Monte Carlo!

I too am interested in a good 3D scanner.

Great looking 53 C1.

I have an older 59 or 60 AMT Corvette my brother built when he was a teenager. My brother is now in his mid 60s and this AMT 59 or 60 has the smallish headlight issue.

This AMT appears not to have the issue of the small headlights. Or is this an MPC repackaged as AMT? Many Corvette enthusiasts consider the 1956 & 1957 the prettiest of the C1 Corvettes. Many believe the 1958-62 with four headlights look a little front heavy, but not me. But I am biased of course.

Find a 392 Hemi and pop it in.

Looks awesome.

Yes, the rear deck lids and tail end & tail lights look like a C2 Corvette Sting Ray. But if you mean rear axles, all C1s - 1953 to 1962 used solid axles rear ends and had kingpin front ends, much like the front ends of 1949 to 1954 Chevy passenger cars and pickups. The 1961 has chrome trim around the coves and the 1961 does not have chrome around the coves. I also believe the headlight bezels on the 61 are chrome and 1962 are painted body color. In 1963, the C2 Corvette Sing Ray got ball joints. I find if ironic in 1955 Chevy passengers cars were upgraded to ball joints yet the Corvette still used primitive king pin front ends. Cheers Ken

I have two AMT 1962 Corvettes to build. The lack of suspension detail and smallish headlights is a turn off. Has anyone every tried grafting on the Revell or MPC headlights from 58 to 62? - Yeah, I know the headlight bezels on the 62 are not chromed, but body painted. Cheers

Not much difference between a 1959 and 1960. I own a 1960 Corvette which I purchased in 1983. When I go to local car shows I often parked near my buddy pat's 1959. They are near identical except for some interior trim and seat covering.

Turned out very good. I agree about the art deco comment. Looks like a Delahaye in a sort of, kind of way.

Purchased my 1960 Corvette in 1983. In a previous life she was a stripper (drag strip racer). She has been a WIP for most of her life. It wasn't until 10-15 years ago I got her 99% complete. Still own the old gal and had her out yesterday for a hour cruise around the town. It's my escape machine and puts a smile back on my kisser when I've had a stressful day, which is now quite frequently since becoming a 24/7 caregiver for my 92 year old Dad.

I too prefer Revell/Monogram but just can't pass up a bargain when I have a few of those Michaels coupons in my wallet... LOL

Cool truck...

That Chevy 409 is might fine!!!

One cool T-Bird!

Just picked up two AMT kits of the 70 Chevelle at Michaels. Those 40% coupons are always handy for something. Your Chevelle is awesome!

Very impressive work. Ever find anything of use on Google's 3DWarehouse (used to be Sketchup's 3D Warehouse)?

1961 Chevrolet Impala parked on Route 66. Digital illustration I created using Vue by e-onsoftware (3D rendering landscape app), a 3D model I purchased from Cornucopia3D (now out of business). Photoshop used for color correction and adding detail.

Nice find...

Interesting article from Hot Rod Magazine, 1954 on building a Kurtis style chasis https://www.undiscoveredclassics.com/forgotten-fiberglass/build-yourself-a-kurtis-style-chassis-hot-rod-magazine-july-1954/

Came across this thread while browsing the HAMB forum and thought some of you may find this of value for a real or model car build. https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/building-a-model-a-frame-from-scratch-who’s-done-it.1265401/

Some good info in this thread. Too back the photobucket photos are longer showing when you click on them to enlarge.
