Terry Sumner Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 (edited) Yeah yeah...I know Da Grump never ran this. But this is my interpretation of what he MIGHT have run IF he was to run one in 1963. This is the new 62 Vette Gasser kit and I built this one during the 8th Annual 24 Hour Build last night. Actually I only worked on it for about 17 hours total building time because the old eye-hand coordination just wasn't there at around 02:30 this morning! So I hit the rack then went out to my regular Sunday morning 8:00 AM breakfast with a friend and also with fellow builder Bernie Gilbow. Got back home and continued around 9:30 and finished at 11:59! This sure as heck is no contest winner but I'm glad I chose this kit for this build because now I'm familiar with it and when I build the next one it will be better...with more time to do things! LOL Painted it white with Krylon Fusion as well as the chassis parts too. Interior was good old testors red enamel paint in the little square jar thinned and sprayed through the airbrush and put in the dehydrator. Decals are Slixx. Bare Metal Foil on the top trim. Straight out of the box...no modifications at all. At first I thought the front end was going to be too high but the crankshaft centerline is actually about 3/4" from the ground so it's well within the class rules! The beginning: Hosted on Fotki During the build. Had the TV on the 24 Hours of Daytona race. Then I had Skype set up with Bernie as we were building early on in the laptop and also the FaceBook page for the build on the main computer. Hosted on Fotki Getting there.....

booboo60 Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 I like it, No, I like it a lot, I.c. nothing wrong with doing a "maybe fantasy build" I love the old vetted with the stacks out of the hood too looks great dude u.should.have more comments then this, really nice.car.
W-409 Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Great work Terry! Especially considering the time you used for building it. I know I couldn't even build a Snap Kit at that time! Very nice and clean.
ratdoggy Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Is that a small block chevy on that? If so what kit as I need one pretty badly with the blower and carbs
