dsummone Posted July 15, 2022 Posted July 15, 2022 Just picked this one up at a garage sale. $3.00…. I’m not going to build it like the custom on the box, seems a bit ridiculous. Dave.

It was only in the SMP 1961 annual, which AFAIK was modified into this 62 and the trunk feature was eliminated. Why I don't know, I've been wanting a '61 annual with this feature for years! As well as the ' '63 annual roadster with the rotating headlights.
dsummone Posted July 19, 2022 Author Posted July 19, 2022 Removed the exhaust and suspension from the chassis. I’ve got to come up with a way to improve the front suspension. Dave. 2
Supernurd Posted July 19, 2022 Posted July 19, 2022 Great work so far. Interesting to see how you will deal with the headlights. 1
dsummone Posted July 20, 2022 Author Posted July 20, 2022 I’ve got the stance where I want it, need to cut the rear wheel back a bit so they fit just inside the fender. This was an open kit from a garage sale and one of the headers was missing so I dabbed up some. Dave.
dsummone Posted July 21, 2022 Author Posted July 21, 2022 327 is pretty much built. I’ve got to do something about the generator hanging out there attached to nothing though. Dave.
dsummone Posted July 28, 2022 Author Posted July 28, 2022 Got the red on the body and now waiting so I mask off for a grey insert. Couldn’t help but set the body on the chassis though.
Bills72sj Posted July 28, 2022 Posted July 28, 2022 Heat shrink for header collectors... quick AND brilliant!? 1

dsummone Posted August 8, 2022 Author Posted August 8, 2022 Just about finished. Need to touch up a couple areas and paint the top. The glass that came with this kit is about an eighth of an inch thick… and I suck with installing glass, tips would be welcomed. Im not going to try chiming the Corvette lettering, I’ll make a mess of that. Dave. 1
