These two builds were inspired by pics from old Hot Rod articles. First up is an AMT 57 Corvette Street Machine built as a Gasser. Paint is Testors Roadstar Florida Orange Pearl. The jacked up front end and wheels are from the AMT 55 Chevy Nomad kit. The fuel injector induction was from the parts box.

Second up is the AMT 63 Corvette kit built as a gasser. Paint is Dupli Color Metallic Blue. The slicks and front tires are from the Modelhas and the wheels are from the parts box, as is the hood scoop. The engine is a 427 Chevy big block with a high rise manifold and a single four barrel.

Thank for looking!

Nice job on both.

This is a good spot to drop a quick note or ask for help. If you are in a bad mood, this isn't the right spot to drop feelings. Thanks for understanding!
