Heres Some Progress On The Vette.

More Progress On The Vette I Changed The Wheels Which Came From A Revell 67 Chevelle I Find The Rallye Wheels Look Sexy On The Vette So Theyre Gonna On There For Good.

The Vette has some paint on it. Its painted Dupli-Color "Engine Enamel" Universal Red with a Dupli-Color Silver Metallic basecoat to brighten up the red. She close to being finished. I still need to get the hood painted but thats no biggie.

Heres some updates on the Vette the red paint i laid on her i wasnt happy with it so i stripped off the red paint and something gave me a idea to modify the Vette into a 63 Stingray. The rear window is gonna be from a AMT 63 Vette and also the fender vents also from the same kit. I talked with other fellow modelers and they told me "Thats gonna be a lot of surgery on that kit youl'l be better off buying a Revell 63 Vette" which is a snap kit. So what ya'll think.

Heres the pics of the mods i did to the Vette it was a bear to get it just right. I used the parts from a AMT 63 Corvette such as : The rear split window & fender vents. Im still working on the bumperettes since i removed the notches that were there. To replicate the Vettes 327 ci which is coming from a Revell 63 Impala SS and add a fuelie intake system.
