Well here's my snap-tite, a Revell Snap-tite 1963 Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray Convertible, with my kinda twist. A drag car. I cut the hood open, and hinged it, replaced the seat with a drag seat, made a roll bar, painted it, started converting the suspension to fit my chevy 350 w/ turbo 400 tranny, and rear slicks, me being a cunning man no pic's will be posted until it's finished.

Nick, ANY conversion from a snapper to a full,or even semi-detailed model is an effort. Ya coulda dun a little neeter job on the paint,(we used to call that color Baby sh8t Yellow, on 71 Ford Pinto's!) but the conversion went well. Just goes ta show wat ya can do with enuff conviction! ;):lol:

If you don't mind me saying, great conversion and all. Plus! I think the paint's finish goes well with the car's era. Look's like an old Vette that's been sitting in the sun to long and the paint started to peal. I like it!

Lets say its bondo, since fiberglass Corvettes don't rust! Lol! Very interesting build, especially since you started with a snap kit. I actually like that color....what is it? That would look good on a '50 Ford pickup I'm planning.

Oh...one more thing......thats not a Turbo 400, its a Turbo 350. ;)

Well yep I knew that I was just trying to find a good word to describe it. Thanks. Uh it's let me look here, Rust-Oleum, Painter's Touch, multi purpose, paint, Khaki- Kaki, N2005.

It would be nice on a Ford F-1, Actually it is a Th400 Not Th350
