Scooter757 Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Accurate Miniatures 1963 Corvette Grand Sport. Really enjoyed doing this model, started by filling the frame tubes gaps, moving the battery from the front to the correct rear trunk area position. Opening the trunk and brake booster reservoir access door. Added brake and fuel lines. Redid the hubs to add the knock off hubs along with alignment pins and valve stems in the rims. The interior drilled out the instrumentation panel adding gauge decals with clear glue over them and .020 wire for the switches. The engine started with spark plug and distributer wiring and steel braided fuel line but changed to smaller fuel lines. Also added throttle linkages. Brake lines and air jacks also added. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
