'53 Corvette Pro Touring

[Greg Pugh]

Thank you so much for your comments!

Wow Greg. That's looking great. What did you end up doing with those headlight we chatted about.

I was using Google to determine how to go about doing the headlights (the wire mesh, what color the buckets were, etc) when I ran across a picture of a '54 Vette concept where they did not use a wire mesh and the bucket was all chrome with no paint. I thought "Well, I can do THAT!". I threw them in the body that way and thought it flowed well with the overall concept of the car. That was easy. Lol

That looks terrific.

That is very sharp looking. I like that you stuck with the I6 instead of throwing a generic Chevy V8 in there.

I love how beautiful that Anthracite Gray looks... almost like a black pearl, with a very satiny finish. Excellent work! I wish Testors would do that one in lacquer. Can't take the odor of their enamels.

Also, an engine that is really miles above kit quality!

But man, a 5-year commitment? You're the olympic athlete of model car builders!

I probably should've said "on-and-off 5-year project". I worked on this one in the rotation of about two or three other models I'm working on. But either way, I'm happy to have this one on the shelf. Lol

Now  that is slick.  Not a fan of the supersized tires but for whatever reason they work on this body style. 

Great work!

Absolutely stunning! The nicest '53 Vette I've seen!  Wow!

[Custom Mike]

Beautiful Greg, simply beautiful! The color choice is perfect, the whole thing looks just right!

That car turned out so beautiful,  extremely photogenic. The rear 3/4 shot really shows how the lines flow.

I'm not into pro touring and over-sized wheels at all but this is beautifully conceived and built. Excellent!

[ChrisR]

Looks great!

[DeeCee]

I could not of imagined such an ugly model car could look so good!!!   

BEAUTIFUL work mate, very well done..

[captjeffro26]

Oh my!  Beautiful!

[Greg Pugh]

Thank you guys SO much!

[RatRod]

Perfect in every way!!!

What a beautiful model!  You really do excellent work.  Beautifully photographed too.  Great job!

Looks like you polished the front glass too, very nice.  I like too that the red interior is not a bright shade, but toned down.  Very classy.

What not to like , color , wheels, engine and stance all great in my book. 

[Dennis Lacy]

There's nothing more boring than another stock vintage 'Vette. This thing is plain BAD! Awesome work! 

[nutboltu]

not a huge fan of massive wheels, but this car is so beautifully done, those wheels look right on it.

Not a fan of the wheels/tires combo but you did a terrific job on everything else. Love the paint job. Did you airbrush the finish from the Testors enamel paints? I absolutely love that color.

[Art Laski]

Nice job, Greg!

Yes, the color is from their Model Master line. I thinned it out and airbrushed it.

Again, thank you everybody!! It means a lot!
