I don't know why I do the things I do, but here we go again. I have the urge to rebuild a glue bomb. Not that I don't have at least 6 or more glue bombs in the stash that I've acquired over the years; yet to be worked on. I had to go out and find another. This one caught my eye and I got it cheap. It's a Revell Stars and stripes Corvette, I think a 68? Anywho, it is complete except for the windshield and I've already found one. So, went ahead and blew it apart with help from my trusty pocket screwdriver, a razor saw and hopes and prayers. Most of the kit isn't too bad, but the engine and headers had a full tube of glue on them and are not really worth fussing with. I'll rob a BBC out of one of my stash kits. I can't find any headers for this kit out there, so I guess I'll be scratching some up. That'll be fun. 
The body isn't all that bad and should come around fairly easily. The interior is mostly okay. Again, not too worried here. The front coil springs broke, so I'll fab up some that look better anyway. So, for now I'm off to the cleanup races. More pics to come. I had no paint, ever and the decals pulled off with ease. SO that will speed me along. Hopefully I can turn this turd around and polish it up nice.
