This is the Revell '58 Corvette which is an excellent model, but the only parts of the original kit that I used was the body and some trim pieces. The chassis came from an AMT Wynns Jammer dragster kit that was shortened a full 2 inches! and the engine is from a Revell '67 GTX.

That is very nicely done mate, great idea and execution, and the way everything lines up with the wheel openings etc, makes it look like it was a kit, made that way. hand-clapping-smiley-emoticon

Thanks guys, I really appreciate your comments! The front axle had to be narrowed, the rear axle had to be widened and the chassis had to be shortened a full 2 inches!!! The engine is a combination of the original 392 Hemi from the kit and a 426 Hemi from a Revell 67 GTX. The rear tires are from an AMT part pack.

Thanks Sharp and Joel! As soon as I saw that the truck was open on this kit I knew I had to have the driver sitting in it!
