Pretty recognizable. Put some flex axles, that could mimic front window. Now there's someting missing. Maybe it is possible to find something usable in system windows.

Now I see what happened to DIno 246GT. I agree with comment by @Jurss Bodywork is not bad, but perhaps you could find something to look like hub caps

Great looking car! But I have to tell you, the white looks much better 

Agreed. If I had a 62 Corvette I would have the scoops painted white anyway.

The hardtop is removable. I hope the red dash board give an impression of where the windscreen should be.

There is plenty of room inside so I put 2x L motor in and geared them up a little. It dives and leans when changing direction.

I love it, as always you've made excellent use of the curved panels and the shaping is spot on. I think this is my favorite up to date :wub:

I thought about that. C4 is tempting but C5 to C7 would all look the same at this scale.

 

I made some progress on the C2 and started the C3. C1 just needs a dashboard.

'62 looks far the best (with white scoops) :thumbup:

Yes but '62 came with body coloured scoops, '61 had white but has a totally different rear end. maybe I should also do a 57 with single headlights and older styte rear.

I would love to see you make a 99' corvette.

I had to look that up to remind me what shape it was. No, that's not on my list.

I did some more work on the C3 and got closer to the right shape.

57' is actually my favorite Vette (of all series - specially version with 4 speed manual transmission)...and there were modeld with spoke tires...but enough of nostalgia, lets get back to topic. 57' has very similar shape to 62, just different lights and mudguards / wings due to lights.

Picture shows '57-'60 rear and '61-'62 rear. Very different! I have checked and there are plenty of '61 corvettes with the new rear end and white scoops, so My '62 is now a '61 and the white scoops will be reinstated. '57 rear looks a lot harder to build.

You're right. I was thinking on 60' as last year of that production, but have mixed years searching through digital (Corvette) parts catalog for something...

So it's not really "never".

Noted.

I can't decide what to do with the chassis. If I though anybody would build any of them I would just use Lego RC parts but Buwizz is more fun and easier to integrate (no receiver needed). With Buwizz there is room for an extra motor and the option to gear them up but not everybody has a buwizz.
