1959 Corvette
I thought I'd take a break from my usual race cars and try R-M's 1959 Vette. I built it basically box stock,but I did some minor mods. I shaved all the emblem's,door handels,trunk handels,and some chrome trim, I filled the fuel filler door. I changed the intake from the fuel inj setup to a 4 barrel carb. I didn't like the fuel inj, it looked cheap. I flocked the int, and did some basic wiring on the motor. The paint is Tamiya TS 14 Black,and is 24 hours old in these pics. I will polish it out in couople of weeks and finish it up.
Let me know what ya think....I may have to do some more street.

Re: 1959 Corvette
That looks pretty darn sweet! I built the same kit for a customer in red/ white on the sides. BTW I love the engine detail.

Re: 1959 Corvette
Looks great. Not so sure about the digital clock, but the knob and leather boot looks great. Nice job.

Re: 1959 Corvette
Alright!!!! Very nice!!! I`ll be following this thread! How about silver coves? I think they would look great with that red and black scheme. I built one a while back that was white with red interior and silver coves. I was pretty impressed with the kit. What do you think of it so far?

Re: 1959 Corvette
The Kit went together very well. I was pretty impressed for R-M. As far as the coves, I am gonna do the flame decals that came with the kit. I am just using the cove flames,not the hood flames.
Thanks for all the nice comments guys.

If you don't mind Sir, I would like to post one completed pic of my completed '59 Corvette that I no longer own.
 People, get this kit! It's a classic. Thanks Privateer, looking forward to seeing this completed.

Very nice! Are those gauges decals, if so did they come with the kit, or are they printoffs?

Re: 1959 Corvette
Sweetness man, my friend has this kit and is currently contemplating a rebuild of it. I'd buy one just for the killer wheels it comes with.
