Past work - Callaway Vette

Here's something I put together a while ago, but haven't been shown in my homepage.
The rear wheel was a real pain, and those who have the kit should know how bad it is by looking at the photo on the box.
I had to modify the trailing arms, so that the fat tire could fit.
The front was modified, so that it can steer.

OMG i think this was my very first model kit!! like..12 years ago? it brings back memories!!...looks great btw..i built mine without paint of anykind except painted the seats with a black marker! hehe

:cool:

that was one of my first model too hehe long time ago..

Looks great! Many people just took the engine from this kit and put it in something else.:)

Is it just box-stock? How long ago did you do it? Looks great! Nice Engine work! :D

Those are the same things I was thinking. You couldn't have been too young to make such a nice model. Everything looks amazing.

Looks very nice, I really like that color.

This is a Monogram kit. And a fine job indeed of building it. Makes me want to work on one of mine.

I'm thinking of taking one of these and combining it w/a coupe roofline to make Callaway coupe. I've only got three of these kits lying around...:rolleyes:

Not to the letter of most contest rules, since he's modified the rear suspension and made the front end steerable. Otherwise it looks box stock. He did a nice job getting the hood to fit...a tricky part for Monogram and AMT C4 'Vettes.

whoa!! great!! great!! :cool: i've been seach'n for that same kit for a long time now. but it's been discontinued and i'm really pissed off!! oh well...:(

Try auction or local swap meet.
In fact, there is one up for sale on eBay, but it's ending soon.
