Kennyboy Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share Posted January 15, 2015 (edited) Hey thanks guys! This one falls into the category of "Taking a nothing kit that nobody wants and turning it into something." What are people's thoughts on how to finish this? Race? Street? oh, and the turn signals are now gone! Edited January 15, 2015 by Kennyboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthijsgrit Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Youi just grabbed my attention! Epic Vette you're building there... I love Callaway's work and this is probably the best of that era IMHO... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Jon Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Very cool project Kenny, I've never seen the Callaway Sledgehammer in scale/kit form before? Keep up the great work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennyboy Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 Thank you so much to all those who are following this! I really appreciate your support and nice comments! Got the headlights roughed-in which was a little interesting given the shape of the original headlight bucket.....also got the turn signals filled. The 1:1 car has the brake cooling ducts higher up to be even with the center opening......I am reluctant to match this because I dont want to chance ruining the front clip by cutting and sectioning. New pics...... The 1:1 Mine: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stump Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Nice work Ken, the "crafting and grafting" makes it all look factory made. Sweet idea too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iheartkits Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 This is some good scratch building work. I hope to get real detailed and good at stuff like this some day. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennyboy Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) Thank you again guys! Really appreciate the support. Should be able to just about finish the hood tonight...... .......in the Wanted section I posted that I am looking for this kit in complete form. (AMT/ERTL #8030) Turns out after I started this, I noticed THEN that the kit is missing the whole chassis and driveline! DOH!!

Belugawrx Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 The lines look right on Ken Could you not achieve the brake ducts by filling and drilling new? Just my 2 cents.... Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKerry Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I gots a chassis and driveline Ken!!!!! Let me know if you want the rest of the vert kit...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
