56 Corvette

Here is one I did fairly quick. I started with the Revell 57 Corvette kit and changed it to a 56. That is not a difficult conversion as both cars are Identical. The Fuel Injection was not availible nor was the 4 speed. So I sanded off the Fuel Injection emblems and installed a two 4bbl carb set up on the 283 motor. The three speed manual was availible but I decided to go a step further and install a powerglide automatic from the 57 150 kit.

Raoul, that is a great looking car and a nice idea for a conversion. Love the color, and the paint looks great! That's an odd looking trans, though. Doesn't look anything like the later aluminum Powerglides, does it?

AWESOME as usual!

Dan, I thought the same thing. It is completely different from the aluminum powerglides of the 60's. I googled pics of them and found that it looked correct. I did find out that the iron case glides were painted orange with the block and not aluminum like I did!!
