my fathers boss asked if i could recreate his fathers 67 vette and i said i could.

his corvette is a coupe with sidepipes but the only vette i found with sidepipes that was a coupe was the 1/12 kit, so i bought the convertible vette which had the sidepipes and a coupe.

i looked over the kit, the chassis is the same with both kits and the siding where the sidepipes go are the same with the exception being the coupe body has holes and the convertible is smooth.

it turns out his 67 vette isnt a 427 like the model kits so i need to make a custom bonnet to mirror the 327 bonnet

here is the progress i made so far. i cut the scoop off. up next a lot of plastic cutting fitting and putty

DONE i managed to pull a allnighter and made the deadline

what i did to it:

dressed a 427 engine to look like a 327
made a hood
added sidepipe exhaust
buffed the heck out of it

after all this i didnt check the clearance for the hood and engine so it is glued in the open position, woops always measure twice and cut once kids.
