1969 corvette

Finally had some daylight time to take a few pics. Finished in Marlboro maroon and tan interior. I used the wheels from the AMT 70 impala, everything else was in the kit. Built up nice , highly recommended. It is the yenko version kit, this kit has a way more complete decal sheet than prior issues.

 

thanks for looking.

Agreed... simply stunning! Your pics can so easily be mistaken for a 1:1!  I've always thought this generation of Corvettes transformed quickly from a powerful muscle/sports car "look" into an elegant/sophisticated sports car "look" with the simple wheel swap you did with those '70 Impala wheel covers... outstanding work!

Thank you all for the very kind comments, very much appreciated.

 

as to the wheels/hub caps, I did some online research, and it seems that style hub cap was called a deluxe wheel cover and was available from 68-74, now, weather or not the info I found is accurate, I can’t say with certainty, but, the wheels in the  impala kit were close enough for me, and let’s face it, probably most of the classic Chevrolets we build end up with rally wheels, and I wanted something different this time around ( not to mention detailing rally wheels is a pain , lol) . Here is a pic I found online of the wheel cover,
