    Before the 5.7 era we had 250 thru to 360 hp engines for the '63, with a 396 a year later, never the less you made a perfect paint job in yellow and awesome wheels

    Hey Rob, the 63 Corvette was always my favorite. The split window always had a love hate relationship with the Corvette community. There was a nice selection of engine, transmission and rear end ratios. My favorite engine was the 327 cubic inch 340 Hp version. I collect the original dealer brochures for Chevrolet from 1955 to the mid 70's. The brochures have nearly all the information on the various models. NICE JOB ON THE MODEL. Be well regards Tom Arizona USA

    Beautiful. I love the slight pearl sheen on the yellow.
    I wonder, do you worry about losing what little detail you have on the interior by painting it black? I typically prefer painting with a lighter shade, a gray or brown if I am worried about losing details like seat creases and seams.
    I do love those big boots though. Keep it up.

    Wasn't expecting the mustard yellow but it works perfectly.👍 For my tastes, the rear wheels are a tad too big but you, and most of the others, seem convinced.
    The casting seems to be spot-on; just a shame they didn't use a wee bit more detail on this one. I don't know if Chevy ever used a similar colour - they should have. An iconic car needs special paint.👍👌😁

    @ZGryphon 4 года назад

    All 1963 Corvettes had a 327-cubic-inch small-block V8, which would be... something like 5.4 liters, I think, in Church of France. :) I think the 350 ci small-block was the one that got badged 5.7L when GM's marketing department went metric, but don't quote me.
    You got 100% paint removal on the _outside,_ that's where it counts. :) Great work on the new paint, as usual! I'm not _completely_ sold on the wheels; they look cool, but the asymmetry bugs me a little, simply because I'm a bit of a purist about my C2 Corvettes. But that's me!

    Lovely job, Corvette Stingrays look great in yellow. I'm a big fan of Zylmex, they seem to have "borrowed" lots of casting ideas from Hot Wheels (Custom Corvette in this case) and others. This isn't one I have in my collection so I'd love to win it!
