Re: 1969 corvette convertible
Looking good so far! Where did those tires come from?

Re: 1969 corvette convertible
Nice start, but wouldn't it be easier to convert this to convertible:

Re: 1969 corvette convertible
tires are from the kit, but i had the red stripes from another model that i didnt use them on.
i think it would be alot easier to do a little bit of filling to this kit, then to cut a whole roof and what not off of the 69 hardtop kit |
