Rich Wilson's Vette-n-stein
(click the image to go back)
Okay, for those who still haven't figured it out yet,
here's the scoop: It's a 1965 Vette from the firewall-back
and a 1969 Vette from the firewall-forward. Rich first
saw pictures of a Vette modified in this way back around
1970-71. He always remembered that car, and he never saw
another one done the same way until just recently. The
recent sighting finally prompted him to build the car
you see here.
The 1965 section is from an AMT kit. The 1969 section
is from Revell and features a grille from the Revell-Monogram
Owens-Corning racecar kit. The stitched-together car rides
on an MPC 1972 Corvette chassis with suspension parts
from a Revell 1965 Corvette kit. The fuel filler cap is
from an Accurate Miniatures Grand Sport Corvette and the
script on the rear deck is a photoetched piece from The
Model Car Garage. The non-Corvette wheels and tires were
sourced from Rich's enormous partsbox.
