'57 Corvette

[ReduitRetro]

A beautiful clean build! And the custom wheels and tires really put it over the top.

Thanks James and yeah, I just can't ever go strictly stock.

@TransAmMike, You would be 100% correct! I'm a native knoxvillian and my blood runs orange. Even though I live in southeast Arkansas, I'm a diehard VFL (Vol for Life).

You're probably like me, I'm the only Vols fan that I know of here. They're all LSU and AR fans. There is one Tide fan, he's my neighbor. I bet there's not too many LSU fans in middle TN. I retired from the state of TN, lived in Nashville for 14 years.

Good looking model. I'd like to have a 1:1 just like it as a daily.

Surprisingly, there are quite a few LSU fans in lower middle TN.  But for whatever reason, I thing Alabummer fans outnumber Vols fans?

Thank you Bill.  Not sure I'd want to daily drive a '57 Vette but the occasional romp would be enjoyable.  Thanks again!

Looking pretty fine your 57. Is this an AMT, Revell, MPC or Monogram kit.

I am kind of partial to C1 Corvettes...LOL

[TransAmMike]

Hey Ken, thanks. It's the old Monogram kit. Some minor issues but finally went together pretty decently.

Im more of a C3 guy but yep, the later C1's are cool.
