Looks like a fun little project. I found it kind of amusing that it says 1998 Corvette and has the 50 Anniversary badge on the box.

I recently retired and have six unopened aircraft models from the 60's I saved as a kid. Once were finished our move I will start on them.

I quit going to the thrift store. I picked up a "potential" wife there once. Took her back the next day when I found out she was broke.
