53 Corvette...You decide!

[Macdaddy4738]

Im gonna try this project. I have a Revell Snaptite 53 Corvette. I took it apart and im gonna detail it up and make it custom. Problem is i cant figure out what i want to do to it....thats where you guys come in..

You guys tell me what you would do to it

its does not have an engine...and im not that advanced so some techniques may be lost on me...so anyways..

Nice car, I think I would of kept it stock, it's too classic for editing heheh, but don't forget to give it a shiny color whatever you do

Maybe you could try scratchbuilding a hardtop that you can take off and put on whenever you want

that sounds good


i havent done any modding yet besides taking it apart though.

i would smooth that silver strip out down the side, take off the bumpers, take out the grill and put some mesh in instead and paint it a wicked colour.
Any use to you?

actually thats almost exactly what i was thinking...

problem is i dont know how to take the silver strip off...its pretty thick.

Im probably going to blend the little tail light pieces into the body as well...

Just sand, sand, sand, man, If you do all that stuff plus some nice five spokes she'll be sittin' pretty,but I'd leave the stock grill in, but that may just my old school side showing.

Stock as a rock with the addition of a big block.

I would go for some Pegasus (Chrome T-)rims!!

Maybe this can give you some insiration:

Smooth it, slam it, give it the chrome T's, If you're ok with an airbrush, find the coolest fingernail polish color you can get and lay down a finish that would make chip Foose drool!!

[Macdaddy4738]

sanded off one side of trim...didnt take too long.

[primera man]

Tub it, slam it add 500ci + of thundering V8 power then top it all of with a candy paint job

[Macdaddy4738]

all trim is gone, all un necessary chrome bits are out. I do belive i am going to keep the Corvette grill, it looks really nice on it, but i havent seen any mesh on it yet...so i dunno
