1961 Chevrolet Corvair Monza "Low Rider Spyder"

[FenderMender]

This is a saved 1961 Chevrolet Corvair Monza "Low Rider Spyder" that was built from fifty year old parts from an old SMP 3-in-1 plastic model kit. The body was stripped of black paint and repainted. Custom grille came from another intact, unbuilt Monza coupe kit.  Since I didn't have a hardtop to make a coupe, the Spyder was made.  Scratch-built rear valance, steering wheel, windshield glass, and floor shifter. Carpeted floor. Low rider wheels from a diecast Maisto low rider model. Six exhaust pipe system, chrome intake tubes and roll bar were included in the original kit. 

Thanks for looking...

I like your updated version. The roll bar is an interesting touch.
