Started this last week and moving fast. The kit:
Kit comes with 3 engine options; stock 327, custom engine, street rod engine and optional fuel injection.
I chose big block with fuel injection engine.
I will be painting this one Burgundy Red Metallic by Model Master - one of my old Model Master holdover from the 80s. Yes, it's still in good condition after all these years. Never been opened or used.

Finally, im back on this one. A week or so ago I started a light coat of Model Master Red Burgundy Metallic. Yes, this Vette will be painted Red Burgundy Metallic.
A light coat has been sprayed on the body and underside of hoods - meaning I have 3 choices of Corvette hoods
Not sure which I will use.

Not liking the manifold set-up on the Vette. Going to upgrade to something a little better. Stay tuned...
