1963 Vette

[Guest JamesDE]

This was my first build I started after being out of commission for about 7 months....

I found a video of a Vette done up pro touring style.... Beautiful car, so I wanted to build one similar to it.... A friend of mine found the wheels that were almost a perfect match...

So far I filled in the bumper mounts in the rear and smoothing out the dash. Paint is Testors inca gold one coat lacquer and followed by a couple coats of duplicolor metal cast orange.... Here are some pics so far... It's been sitting in a box for about a month or so, time to bring it back out again...

Split window Vettes were the best Vettes ever. IMO. Love the color also.

Thanks guys....

I will have some progress pics up shortly.... Sorry if my pics aren't the best, I'll get some outside shots soon.... I'm using my iPad and wish the pics could come out better....

As for your question on the wheels.... They came in the Revell re-release of the 62 impala.....
