1963 Corvette current day nhra Stock Eliminator

Geez, starting another one when I already have 2 or 3 started on here.  This will be a 327, perhaps 340 hp afb carb version, something like Tony Hernandez’s car.    Cleaned up some seam lines on the venerable amt “parts” kit.  Put some bmf on the emblems, then decided, what the heck, put the bmf on the windshields and chrome trim, too.  After the paint job, they will be rubbed off with alcohol or thinner.  No primer, put some Tamiya gold on tonight, will put some clear on tomorrow.

Nice. These make great looking race cars

Good looking 'Vette.  I'm pressive wheel stand for an H/Stocker.  That bad boy is a beast.

Will be a great looking model Ron.

I hope so, Mike.  Not going to put a lot of time and money into this one.  Put a little Mr. Hobby clear on, looked at the chassis, and decided against trying to remove the exhaust system.  Not thrilled with the small block that came in the kit, but it will have to do.  Put some orange Tamiya on, then a silver marker on the trans.

Looks Ike the clear went on nicely. I use the bottled Mr Hobby clear airbrushed. 

Looking good!
