This is a build started a few weeks ago and am currently working on, as well as a 63 replica of the '65 Sebring version. This is an Accurate Miniatures 1:24 kit. There were only 5 made and all are still in existance, valued at over $5 Mil apeace. I'm going to build this one as a Fictional Gulf version.

Me likey the Gulf version too!

Where did you find the kit? I'm intrigued and want one for myself too. LOL! Ebay don't have it listed at all - except for the concept Mako Corvette. I'm being tempted to grab that one too.

Bought the kit several years ago. They are hard to find. In this build I'm using the MCG PE pack in addition to the kit PE, which also includes a resin transmission and rear oil cooler. I ordered Indy Cals 60-70s Gold Line decals for the tires and have a Goodyear stencil for this one. Here's the kit.

Hard to find is an understatement. ROFL! I found that out quick. I am looking forward to seeing the complete product.

Thanks. I'll be using Gravity paint for the body Gulf colors. The chassis had to be filled and sanded underneath as well as remove all the body support brackets for the PE.

Nice set of colors! I've never heard of Gravity paints but they certainly look to be a perfect match.

They are a relatively new company. They have many OEM colors for old and new race cars.

They ran a Chevy 377 back in the day and most replicars don't have it.

Thanks for all the interest. Cut off and replaced all the frame to body supports and replaced with Photo Etch.

That's right. Glad you asked. Removed the grille, rear oil cooler and hood straps in preparation for more ( you guessed it) PE. Applied base coat of Satin Black to chassis.
