Vette Van

This one is a Xmass present its the MPC Vette Van,going for a two tone colour on it not fussed on the wheels for it,found some new ones for it.

yeeeeeeees! Cmon allan, what colours the paint gunna be?!?!

Oh forgot colours with be chrome yellow bottom diamond white top,tan inside.Will try and blend the two colours together if I can.

If your not using the wheels and tyres Al and want to part with them I'm keen on them.
When I built my one I glued the panel under the grill in before painting that allowed for smoothing it out easier.
Great kit that although it shows it's age goes together really well.

Checkmate,there is only two rims and four tyres in kit that's why the change,is was a cheap kit from the states,was not worryed about missing rims as was always going to change them as the others look to ugly.Was going to put panel in place before I painted it.There was another set of rims and tyres in kit will photos and send you a pm they are close to the kit ones but wider.

Now this is a blast from the past....look forward to watching this one.

when to silverfox's place today to show him the vette van,we talked about the rims that I was going to go with,he said they look right at the front but to small for the rear,we looked in his stash of rims and found a cool set of centrelines so will be going with them on.Ya shunter its a old one sould look good once done.

Which ones Top ones or bottom ones.Other ones are to small.

Top.

Have to agree with Fred, the top ones look much better. :-)

Josh.

Top ones allan.

Ok look's like its the centrelines ones win hands down they do look more period for the vette.

Top wheel set looks better

put a bit of colour on the body,Taniya Chrome yellow.

Top colour for a Vette, now put some Jake decals on and you are in business..

Don't know who jake is.Going to look for some black ones if I can find some.

Jake is the logo used by Bad Boys, the racing arm for Corvette.

OOOOOh very cool Corvette,me like that one.

findly got another coat of yellow on this one also painting seat tub and glued the engine halfs together had to clamp the parts as the are bowed so its the heads for the engine

Got back to this one after a lot of nagging from silverfox   , After I resprayed it last time end up with a few hairs in the paint again     will look at it later today to see if its Ok. if I get it built Silverfox will stop nagging me about this one but most likely start on something else,   bugger

That's going to look cool when done will be keeping an eye on this one and I agree with everyone else the rims on the top pic look better

Almost jumped on this one today  ,have ended up stripping paint off it with sand blaster still have a bit more to clean off it before I repaint it or smash it.

 smash it

Whose hairs are they Allan?
Maybe that person should be shaved as a precaution in future?

No not going to smash it blatdriver     will put it aside and finish the Ford pickup and the VW bug.   will have new colour on it too.   Ah Cat hairs zenrat.
