Hello, For the last few months, I've been working "in secret" on a special build-off project. You can read more about this build-off here: modelerssocialclub.proboards.com/thread/15335/grassroots-corvette-autocross-racer-build This was the third and last completion of this build-off. Since I was tight for time, a proper factory stock build was out of the equation. I will eventually get to a proper factory stock later. Starting with the Revell snapper, I shaved emblems and door handles. Custom grille with monochromatic emblem, scratchbuilt Wilwood brakes, valve stems, seatbelts, hardware, interior details and mirrors (door mirror turned in aluminum). As usual, the windshield was blue tinted on top. Paint is LeMans blue with Cyber Gray replacing all the brightwork trim, wheels, etc. Carbon fiber flush door handles. I obviously don't have a progress thread as this was some sort of a "secret" but it was a very straight forward rather simple build, different to the '90 convertible which was a fit nightmare. Special thanks to Roberto Fanfan (madslammer) for driving the buildoff. My 1963 Corvette convertible Restomod And family pics with the other 2 builds that will be posted separately. Will update this post to include the links once posted. Finally, It is 1/25 Hope you like it! Thanks, Ismael

Man that is SICK brutha!! What a sleek looking car Ismael! That LeMans Blue looks electric on that car and you've done an amazing job with the set up and stance on it. What was the inspiration for the way you set it up?

Absolutely gorgeous work Ismael. I love it. Like Joe said, perfect color. Fantastic work on your speedbuilding of 3 Corvettes too. Lol. You did great.

That’s really cool. The blacked out chrome is a really nice touch.👍

Thank you guys! This was a rather "quicker than usual" project but it seems to resonate well with other modelers.
