1/10 scale 1964 corvette

[1986Z28]

i bought this a a garage sale and i figured it had soem potential, its going to need some work, ive got plenty of plans for like, opening doors, working lights, its going to have shaved emblems and whatnot, but i have on problem, i cant find any parts for it, all i got was the body, chassis, some interior and the wheels and tires. if anybody can help me find parts such as rear end or entire drivetrain or suspension conponents it would be a great help.

wheels look like they are a bit 2 big

but hmmmmm for the drivetrain you could always try the engine kit revell makes, i think it's 1/10 (i dunno, i just think it is)

or you can always makes everything from scratch!

I think this car is 1:8 scale. I have the 1:8 scale kit, 1965 Corvette by Monogram. Sorry no spare parts though.

It realy looks like the 1/8 '65 Corvette by Monogram. I have one extra, PM me what parts you need and I'll check if I can find them.

i was wondering what should i use on this a can or an air brush and isf so what kind, any of you guys have an idea on what color might look good on a car like this because i dont have much of an idea.

[joecwlaw]

you can try to use/buy 1/10 rc parts such as suspension, axles and drive hub.

I love this car in a red similar to a ferrari red. Or a black. This will be a build I will look forward to!

[white97ex]

if it is 10th scale, then Parma/PSE makes a 1/10 scale hemi engine. that would be a good starting point for an engine, and as joecwlaw said try out the R/C suspension parts

[mikemechanic]

Looks like the 1/8 scale Monogram to me.

[white97ex]

yeah..that seems to be the consensus of the group. my check out the dimensions of that 1/10 motor....it might make a good starting point still

ive finally got some work done, the vent windows are gone and i built hinges for the hood, does any one know what kind of body filler im supposed to use and where can i get it?? il post more updates later

[1986Z28]

im going to strip the body soon and i heard of a product called CSC, anyone heard of it, or any warnings before i do this? will it take paint of thats nearly 30 years old without damaging the body?

Lot's of easy off oven cleaner in the heavy duty can. I use it on my ABS plastic 1/10 Tamiya R/C car bodies.
