Looking great. It just occurred to me you had to move the rear crossmember rearward during your frame mods to get the spring-behind-axle setup to work.
Excellent.
Purty cool, especially the bit about using 21st century technology upgrades on a bazillion year old kit, plus some good old fashioned hack-n-whack-n-fab.
Yup, use old parts, new parts, and all the tools in the box.
Looking good.
Though it's a simple kit, and 1/24 to boot, it's well proportioned and makes a fine model.
It can only be built (easily) as a full-fendered car because the frame is molded into the fender unit.
It's also a source for some trick parts readily adaptable to 1/25 deuce models, like the louvered hood parts.
Great little model. You've inspired me to try to find one.
Those taillights always remind me of the tri-colored eyes on the original War of the Worlds invaders.
Titles of nobility can now be purchased online, so you too can be a Nigerian prince, German count, or Scottish laird; what better accompaniment for that fake Rolex you flash in the bars and discos?
THANK YOU for those. There actually is a lot of information in them that I needed, like the apparent hard seam at the junction of the cockpit fairing and the rear bodywork (unlike the softly molded-in version on at least one restored car), and a better idea of the relationship between the windshield frame and the perspex, and how much thicker and heavier it is at the base than I'd thought previously.
MUCH appreciated.
There are a couple hardtops for that generation Corvette body in earlier kits from other manufacturers, but I don't know right off hand how well they fit your Revell body and windshield frame.
Somebody probably does.
