Good Morning Fellows,
This early COVID project has been sitting on the chair languishing. I'm closing down the model car portion of my life and pouring my savings into getting a 1 to 1 scale 1968 427 Ford boat engine running. Another huge Research project, amazing how the so-called "Experts" don't know a thing!
Back to the '61 'Vette: saw this photo and thought "How Cool" another chopped in half car like my 62 Lightweight "Mule". Fairly simple build except for the join of Sting Ray roof to '61 body. The windshield is '61 but roofline is '63, both different profiles. Lot's of sanding and filling. Interesting is this is the ONLY Fastback with a TRUNK lid except for the Grand Sports! I did take some "Artistic License" and add the Carrera Grand Sport slot car fender louver inserts on the Outside of the Coves and custom one piece tail light lenses. Filler on roof keeps cracking, I'm basically done with this one. But think it would make a nice racing prototype in the Grand Sport family. Thank, John
