64 Corvette opinion

[Sport Suburban]

I recently built a few Corvette's and I decided to build a 64 from an AMT 63 Corvette Roadster kit. I thought it would be interesting to build it with the headlights exposed. As fate would have it I ended up with another kit for parts so If I screwed up I had a spare body. Here it is in the final stages of mock up. What do you think?

I say run with it. I like the differentness of building it with the lights in the up/exposed position. I can't wait to see more on this build. Vettes are the all time American Sports Car. I'll be watchin'.

Some Covettes from the past, mounted the lights further back on a flat panel and covered them with body shaped clear Plexiglas like a Chaparral 2.

Build it functional- so that the lights flip up

Either leave them exposed or make it so they can be flipped into either position. Not many have done it..

Looks like a great idea!,any plans to try and adapt the exposed headlights to Monograms 67'vette convertible?

No plans to do this again but I don't know when I'll get to the 67. Maybe do one as a ten year old used car with a winking headlight and some wear.
