Pumpkin Vette - finished 1/21

Hey Gang, started this project back in August after I completed the anti-chrome GTO: http://cs.scaleautomag.com/SCACS/forums/t/94331.aspx I was trying to have it completed by Halloween (didn't happen) then the date got pushed back to Thanksgiving (didn't happen either).. but today was the day I got her finished!

Its the Revell '68 Corvette Roadster 2 in 1. I got this kit from my mom for Christmas of 1999 when I lived in Japan. She sent me 3 or 4 muscle car kits, and initially I had painted it red with white trim. Unfortunately the red ran, and so the kit got shelved till last year. I picked it back up, gave it a Purple Power bath, and some light sanding, and dove back in..

Pretty much a box build, I kept the anti-chrome mentality and used a semi-gloss black to off-set the pumpkin orange. I found the light almond, and used it to do the interior and the soft top. There was a bit of a blank space on the dash, so I tossed in a bit of modern technology with a GPS decal. I did nick a set of wheels from a '70 Chevelle kit thats on my to-do list.

Thanks for looking! Beer
