1963 Corvette NHRA Stocker

[R. Thorne]

More pics and details on this overly long build in the WIP Section.  Similar to, but not as pretty as Tony Hernandez’s real life Stocker, this was a change of pace build for me not being nearly as well detailed as most of my models.  Based on the venerable AMT kit and almost out of the box, I had forgotten how beautiful the body on these cars were.  Painted with TS75 Tamiya Champagne gold spray can (no primer) topped with a couple coats of Mr. Super Clear spray can, I also experimented with vcgresins Hooker headers (brush painted with FusionFirm).  I used mcvproducts Afb carb and tachometer.

Thanks, Bob.  Nice color, but needed the gloss coat to bring out the shine.

Thanks, Mike.  Actually, the 1177 is the (fictitious ) permanent number required on all class cars.  Most cars in the B/S class would run in the low ten second area.
