Greetings,
I just picked up another rare Corvette. Changed it to match my real 2014. First photo is before and remaining photos are after my changes. What do you think? Before After The real thing.
Thank you all for the compliments. I have a lot of time in this little project. I have a 1966 vert restomod in the same color scheme as this and the 2014. I plan to add this between the cars. Photos below.
Shokwav, this was a used Hot Wheels C7 that I picked up at a friend’s hose. You can see in the first original post photo it was blue at that time. I disassembled it, painted the pieces, reassembled it, made the tail lights , covered the interior floor and rear reflectors all out of labeling stock, put on pin stripes to form the tail light frames, then installed C7 script and emblems. Sorry, to say but these aren’t sold on the market. I applaud you for thinking about getting one for your 1 year old son. You are a very good dad.

Thank you anyway! I’ll keep an eye on eBay in case one ever turns up for sale. I should have been stockpiling items like this a few years before he was born lol
