Got my '63 Vette

[Rolex]

Thanks to a PM from Jacks9930, I got the lid I've been looking for. The closest I could come was a '67 and I was going to do a split window just for the 'cool' effect.
I just got refunded by PayPal for the scammer who charged me but never followed through on the back order of the '67, so the timing is just perfect.

Thanks again, Jacks9930! You da MAN!!!

Glad I could help.

I can`t wait to see what you will do with it.

I love the Spit-Window Coupe. It's my favorite 'Vette.

Man that is cool! I saw a movie with this car in it. It was a rc and i think it was carrying bomb to blow up a real car. Anyone know the name of this movie? Saw it when i was a kid.

The dead pool with Clint Eastwood?

The dead pool with Clint Eastwood?

I love the Spit-Window Coupe. It's my favorite 'Vette.

50 years after it was designed it's still incredibly beautiful.

The dead pool with Clint Eastwood?

That's what it was.
Because of that movie I bought the big Vette model, stretched the hood and put it on a Tamiya Grasshopper.

Isn't that a grasshopper those kids are playing with, when it messes up the corvettes signal?

 

[Rolex]

In the movie? I don't remember that part.
When I saw the movie I thought that was the coolest thing I'd ever seen. Bouncing along on spring suspension. Sad to see it blow up.

Does it show I have the dirty Harry collection.

Me too, the '67 especially, with the 427!

Rolex, get some pics when it's done before it gets sealed off in the hermetic chamber.

Hey Rolex I was on ebay looking at lexan bodies when this popped up:

That's where I got it. $25 plus $13 shipping from Canada.

I downloaded a couple hundred pics of '63 Vettes last night just for some ideas and colors.

Ever seen this? Custom body on a C6.

I liked the stock dark blue color myself.

 

[jose.28]

Lol that vette is so shiny i thought it was yours.......

 

[Rolex]

Lol...at least not yet.

I liked the stock dark blue color myself.

Definitely lovin' the dark blue. I'm down to that blue, silver or white.

 

[hamz9561]

Zora Duntov liked the blue, that's why he painted the Mako Shark that color.

Here's a shot of the man, but that's a different car and color.

Well, I've talked myself out of the white since the Mustang GT 500 will be done in white with the blue trim.

Dark metallic blue or silver, now.

 

[HPIguy]

That blue is, wait for it, STUNNING! Seriously though, I love that shade of blue.
