1967 Corvette Convertible (Stacy)

This one was built as part of a forum project on BMC, based on the movie "Gone In 60 Seconds" (The new one). Everyone picked a car, and got to work duplicating the movie car as closely as possible from what you could see of it in the movie. My kit was from Revell, and I wired the engine, added heater hoses, fuel lines, and battery cables, along with a photo-etched front license plate, license plate frame on the rear, and a plate that I printed (poorly) myself. The interior was flocked, and Dupli-Color Vinyl & Fabric paints were used for the seats, dash & door panels. Body was painted using Spies-Hecker Ford "Laser Red Pearl" and DuPont Nason Clear.

I had a few little problems with the hood decal, the convertible top, windshield, and side pipe covers, but this one was for fun, so I didn't let the little stuff bother me. Oh, and the hood is a different shade, due to the fact it was the THIRD hood (Not the third painting, the THIRD HOOD!!!) I painted for this one, and I forgot the white primer. Like I said, this was for fun, and it was.
