The shark Corvette was a hot lick when I was a teenager. Like you, I have a lot of kits to do different variants of the car. I built the MPC kits with the metal springs in the front suspension back from 68 through the 70's, and I still have a 69 to restore. The AMT 70 and 71 corvettes from the 90s are also very nice.

A few years back, I converted the Revell 67 Corvette Roadster into a 65 for a gentleman . I adapted the small block hood from an AMT 65 that I had in my stash. I posted pictures of the finished model. The model came out great, and I may do a 66 in the same manner. I used the AMT 65 as the guide, along with pictures of Paul's 65. The 63 through 67 Corvettes are among my favorite cars. I cannot afford a pristine 1966 AMT kit, but I can convert one of my Revell 67s. I like the kit, and bought several while they were cheap. As a matter of fact, I have several AMT Corvette kits from that era too. Good luck on the project.

Beautiful build! I built one of these kits in 84, and its still on my shelf.

I have one of Harold's 63 Z06 Corvettes. It is the finest mid 60s Corvette kits I have ever seen. You are on your own for chrome, but otherwise, it is magnificent.

Ooh!!!

Excellent execution!!!

excellent!!!

Fantastic!!!!

Thank you David for the information. I have yet to build any of the variations of this kit, so it is very helpful.

Very nice. Great minds think alike. I think Turquoise is one of the best colors for that car. I have several more of the kits to build.. I really like them

The caps included in the original kit were baby moons with Chevrolet bow ties. Not correct, but decent looking.

I have used the Detail Master Version of that product for years. It worked very well for me.

Oh My!!!!!

That is very nice. I have a nice unpainted one to restore and a black one I once restored that needs refreshing. I think I'm going to give it a "Perry Mason "vibe.

I love that one. The Oldsmobile Toronado from 1966-72 are among my favorite cars, and I have several of them unbuilt, and a couple of rebuilders. After looking at this masterwork, I have a 68 I must attend to. I think I have enough parts in my junk box.

Who could ask for anything more? I have a few of those 1st generation AMT Buick Rivieras in my collection, including an original issue 65 annual that I haven't built. Back in the 80's, I built a 65 from one of the Barris Custom Versions. Since it didn't have a set of stock wheels, I found a set of Buick Chromed Wheels and put them on it. I also put a vinyl roof on it, using some grained contact paper. It is Dark Green, with a Black roof and interior. Seeing your builds reminded me of it. I have to dust it off. I haven't looked at it for over 20 years.

I'm glad you posted the pictures of your latest masterwork, and I know you will get paid handsomely for it. In November 1977, my sister told me that she was ready to trade in her 75 Cougar XR7. To make a long story short, I went with her as her counselor, and she bought a 78 Thunderbird Town Landau. It was Dark Brown with a matching Velour interior. It was a gorgeous car, which she kept for eleven years, and gave to my Dad. Unfortunately, I am bucks down, or else I would buy one of these kits, do the modifications, and gift it to my sister. I love your creativity Paul, and thank you for making these kits available. One of these days.

Oh yeah!!!!

Beautiful work as usual Roger.

I love it!

Great work! I have several Cadillacs of this era to build. In doing a similar interior repair to a 71 Eldorado.

Very nice build. I have one of the annual kits of that car from 1965 that I am going to build one day.

Great work.

Fantastic work on those.

That looks great.
