Darf Vader's 57 vette

Thought I would post a few shots of my latest project .This is a AMT 1957 Corvette Gasser.I used Boyd's Black with Testors silver enamel paint for the flames. No clear coat.I used a 1968 Corvette roaster427 motor & made the headers with .062 solder & heat shrink for the collectors. This kit had some serious fit issues but with a little perseverance I managed to finish .Thanks for looking.

I know all too well about the fit issues. Considering what a poor kit this, you did an amazing job on it. The headers are excellent, great work all around.

Beautiful work!! :sunglasse
