This is a build I started in 2021, got a bit over my comfort level, and put it away.  Most of the work had been done.  Sometimes, you just gotta get it over with.  Anyways, this is the venerable amt kit with the blown big block.  I had adapted a torque flight trans to a Chevy stick shift bellhousing to build the B&M Clutch Flite transmission (essentially a stick shift clutch adapted to an automatic transmission).  Details of how the trans was built by B&M are in the WIP section for those technically inclined.  One of my first airbrush paint jobs using Testors metallic green and lacquer thinner.  A lot of modifications to the hood and the rear wheel wells.  Parts box slicks, kit wheels,  aftermarket headers painted with FusionFirm,decals from eBay (Fremont racing specialties).  The things I am not happy about on this build:  not Cragar wheels, paint job, motor was slightly tweaked during installation, didn’t paint the rear wheel inners black.  The things I like:  the corvette body, the paint is pretty from 3 feet, the decals worked great, when I look at it it reminds me of the 60’s drag race cars.  Questions, critiques, comments are always appreciated.  As Frank says, Be Well.
