OldTrucker Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 An old kit started then put away for about a decade then finished a couple years back. Basic out of box build, nothing special.
Snake45 Posted August 28, 2018 Posted August 28, 2018 Very, very nice! This is a great kit and you did it proud. Model on!
OldTrucker Posted August 28, 2018 Author Posted August 28, 2018 This was actually copied from a 1:1 that belonged to the head cashier at the super market we shopped at in 1994. Bought for her new as a graduation gift from her late dad. She would park way away from where everyone parked in the far corner of the lot close to the road but away from any traffic. One day a new teenage driver in daddy's car was showing off for his buddies doing doughnuts on a wet lot, lost controll and hit her Vette knocking it into the 4 lane road where it was then struck by a semi! She was so upset they almost had to take her to the hospital. My wife helped calm her down along with a RN who was also shopping there and eventually my wife drove the woman home. My wife's cousin has a body shop that specialized in Corvette repair and he actually rebuilt the car for her! Took about a year but looked as good as new! The bill was 2000 more than the insurance would pay but the kid's dad payed up and made the kid work it off!
bbowser Posted August 29, 2018 Posted August 29, 2018 Very well done, and terrible (for her) story. I can't imagine it was ever right again after getting hit by a semi!
BeakDoc Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 Glad you pulled this one back out and finished her up. Another fine looking build.
Bucky Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 Very sharp Vette! That would be a head turner on the open road!!
