'63 Vette NASCAR Modified WIP

[bobss396]

This is a 3D printed kit from A-1 Raceworks 3D Resin Prints. The owner Paul Koehler is very good to deal with.

The down side is that the engine and chassis are 1-piece assemblies. I detailed them using some AK paint pens and Vallejo acrylics. The wheels/hubs are also 1-piece.

The chassis and body take some clean up, the detail is good overall.

The engine took some doing to paint it up. Distributor is from Jayes Model Car Garage. Breathers are from Ron Coon. Oil filter and starter from VCG Resins.

Fuel cell was modified for a better fit. Added a battery that is hard to see.

Tires and wheels are outstanding. Wheels are Tamiya TS-30 Silver, hubs brush painted Vallejo Bronze. Tires are Vallejo black primer. Tire decals are from Mike's Decals

Can't believe no one has commented on this yet. I am a Corvette purist at heart, but I like what you are doing here. Back when Ace Speedway in Burlington NC was a dirt track , there was a racer who had a prototype C3 Corvette bodied late model. White with flames painted on it. Looked like a show car at the start of the season, not so much towards the end.

Wow! Some nice work going on here. Going to be a beauty of a Mod.

Thanks, I hope so. Taking my time, as usual. I had to do a couple of minor things over. 

Next up is final primer on the body and maybe getting wheels on it.

That is flat wicked! Vettes from 53 to mid 90's are one of my favorites to build, and seeing this, gives me a couple ideas for a couple of the 60's I have in my stash.

Yep, that’s really cool 👍🏻

Looks great, Bob. I wonder how long that fiberglass body would last on a short track. Of course, it has the bar all the way around it so it might be just fine. Sure, would be an eye catcher though.
