I love the Stingray body, too, but my favorite is the later one with the full tapered glass rear window and bullet shaped back bumper.  Trouble is, that year you couldn't get a Rat motor ... and what's a Singray without a big-block?

I even considered dropping a 427 in my '84, but the fit was too tight for my budget.

Sharp looking Vette. Nice build on an old original kit.

Thanks, I like that 1st year model.  I guess many of us were brought up with that body style 'Vette, I modeled the car after one I saw on a website, http://www.countycorvette.com/christopher.htm As a final touch, I'd like to re-create the license plates.

Awesome job on that Vette! I'm a real sucker for these shark year Vettes. The dash looks especially nice.Approve [^]

Cool ... I bought something similar and haven't had a chance to use it yet.  This gives me hope ...

Yeah, I bought a hands free binocular magnifyer called a Magnifocuser this year and a whole new universe of detail was revealed!
