Today, I was at Walmart and saw this for $13.

Even though it is not a quality reproduction of the Corvette, it looks decent enough to use as the basis for a C7R. As you can see it has abit of a lift kit style chassis on it, would make a good offroad vehicle.

Without the chassis, starting to look better. The shell is a very thin plastic and quite flexible.

I started removing the decals, light covers and the glass, and think this might just make a decent curbside kit when done.

Since I am in the middle of redoing my hobby room, building a new workbench and a spraybooth I cant really do much building, so I thought this would be an interesting subject to attempt. Now, if I could just find where Paolo keeps his body work skills for GT cars I might have a shot at pulling this off.

good luck with this project. The c7 is another incredibly nice corvette around,even more imho in the le mans version.

...and they are all all winning race cars. In italy I still see around some old c5r dominating cathegory of private gt racers. Too nice subject really.Its sound is also orgasmic.
Also I am always tempted to use one of the many misterious body coming from those low budget models. The body nearly Aaways looks very good.....and I still regret I miss to buy that m3e46 in 24 done as telefone for kids....:crying::crying::naughty:
