'53 Vette

This was made from the Vette Agin as a semi dare. It was missing a few pieces so I built it as a curbside. The wheels came from the Polar Lights Coronet 500 as did the rear tires, the front tires are from the parts box.
Testors Cream and Red were used and custom decals were made for the graphics. The #5s and roundels are 70’s vintage MPC items, and they cracked badly during application. Light weathering was done with baking soda and light gray paint.
I was going for a faux salt racer look.

Excellent little model. The subtle "salt" weathering on the front really sets it off nicely.

Very cool!
