This vintage SMP model of a 1961 Corvette convertible was in my "junk" model collection of very, very old parts from the late 50s and early 60s kits. Some of this material was from friends who gave them up to me as glue bombs. This Corvette was a disassembled glue bomb from that era. Its badly painted body was intact, the interior was partially finished but the chassis had been cut into two pieces and a 1/2 inch section removed and gone forever. The engine is not from the kit, the wheels were ruined from a heavy application of glue which had totally distorted them. Other lost parts or no parts had to be substituted or scratch built. Carpeting was added to the interior and trunk. Body was stripped of black paint and repainted a matte white.
Considering where it came from, it is fortunate that all the wheels roll and that it is now finally complete after a month's work. * Note: brace under the engine has been added to affect realism since the initial posting.
