This is a Revell '53 Vette Roadster. I saw some pics of from SEMA of a 53 Corvette body on a C5 Z06 chassie, interior and motor. I tried to recreate it, but i feel I fell short. This is a couple sites with cars from SEMA.

Overall I think its a good idea for a conversion but i did a bad job. I think one of the more skill fabricators could do a much better job.
