An Aurora 1/32 scale 1962 Corvette that was a glue bomb from the 1960s. It needed wheels, tires, axles, windshield, steering wheels, gear shift lever none of which are from the original kit. The interior was glued solidly to the body so it couldn't be detached for detailing thoroughly. Wheels and rubber tires are from a discarded transformer-type car from the scrap yard. A cut-down windshield was made from clear acetate plastic. Due to reconstruction constraints and body parts that were already painted , the rebuild looked like this.

After some further contemplation and suggestions from others, the model was altered to look like this now:

Nice cover up on the glue line, but what can you do to the windshield glue...?
 
It actually doesn't look that gross in hand. Perhaps I will try and hide it with a black trim line. I originally thought of not having a windshield at all.
