WIP 1957 Corvette Streetmachine

Haven't built any models for a while because I've got new roadbike [:-)]

A week ago, I decided to build something hot using one of my collection and I took this one.

I love classic Vettes. 57 Vette from Monogram.

I was plannning to build this vette as Resto Rod or Drag Car.

or

but, I found big problem around the cove and I choose removing trim around the cove over working on the area. Then, I was compelled to change the plan.
This time, I'm going to make this Vette a Street machine.

Here's a image.

corvette on the left side is a plan for my next project, 53 Corvette hi-tech.

thanks

I have never worked with just a monogram is it any good cant wait to see more progress!

The '57 is IMO the best looking Vette, especially when you give it a Pro Touring treatment like you are. Great stuff!

At first I thought your drawing skills were odd, but that is a really cool program, what is it? Your hand drawings are great also. I always love drawing when I can too!

Like mentioned by others, this is one of the most beautiful Vettes. Is the kit doing it justice?

Thanks guys!

Sorry, I can't make any progress because I have to study for the exam.
(this exam is very, very important for me now.)
I'm gonna build this kit after the exam. Thank you!
