1957 Corvette "My Way"

[curt raitz]

I've had a couple of AMT '57 Corvette Street Machines and a Gasser in my cupboard for quite sometime. And with the main theme for the upcoming NNL West being "7"...I had to build'em! 

I plan on building 4 different models of the '57 Corvette. The Gasser w/tilt front end, two based on the Street Machine and one stock version using the recently issued Round2 AMT-R2-1015-2 1957 Chevy Convertible Corvette from the Car Builder Series.

On this one I used the Street Machine kit AMT #8213 along with the 1995 Corvette in the AMT combo kit #31818. 

I used the chassis, suspension, running gear, engine and wheels from the '95 Corvette.

Goodyear "Polyglas GT" tires are from AMT's Custom and Competition Parts Pack.

Tonneau cover is from the AMT '62 Corvette.

Paint is Tamiya TS-18 Metallic Red.
