1960 Chevy Corvette C1 283 V8 Custom 1/25 Scale Model Kit Build How To Assemble Two Tone Paint

[@gerdogstenc2534]

Built this kit as a kid. It had workable stee springs on the front. The correct name for the indented sides of the body is COVES.

[@gerdogstenc2534]

Steel springs.

I have a Revell 1960 Chevy Corvette, I found it at a very unlikely place, Radio Shack in 1985. A multi piece body!

Chris, it's always great when it's a "Happy Guys" video!!! No matter what car or truck kit it is.

[@craigwellsjr3968]

It looks like it had a lot of flash. I really like that blue and white body and blue interior.

[@r.a.monigold9789]

Of all the cars I've owned (over 50 - I know), I've never owned a Corvette. If I ever do, it'll look JUST LIKE THIS ONE. Nice choices. Fun video. Thanks

In Kansas City, Chris, yesterday was 73° today in the 20s, we had sleet about 10:00 last night, today my furnace died, I was cold till about 3:00 this afternoon. I love the old vettes, love this kit!!!!

we went from 62 at noon to 22 at 6pm.... snowing so hard i couldn't see this morning going to work

[@johngligo4049]

That's one sharp looking '60 Corvette Chris! That Krylon Short Cuts Turquoise really compliments it nicely!

[@MrCocg1]

Its a nice color and paint but my eyes tell me "Blue"....

[@danielkemp4801]

Very nice. Like the video and review of the kit. I see a few real 60's corvettes in the summer. Keep up the great work and have a great day.

[@martyoberman2108]

The issue I built had real metal coil springs in the front. Boy were they a pain to work with! It was compounded by the poseable steering and the springs wouldn't allow the spindles to seat properly. Glad this issue doesn't have them... Chris needs all his hair. I lost quite a bit of mine building this one.😂 Great build and review as always buddy! Rock on Brother!

[@lylebriggs923]

Thank you for another great build video Chris vary nice paint 2 tone paint job an of course I appreciate the time an effort you put into your videos you put together for us 👍🏻👍🏻

[@nickc-dw5tj]

Love the paint, great build, thank you

[@davidhinkson8856]

A 7 in 1 kit? Don't think I've ever seen anything quite like this before, that's pretty impressive, and I know for sure I'd be spoilt for choice if I had to build it. I like what you decided to come up with, keeping it relatively simple in the process, but I must say I like the different racing car options and if they can be used on other Corvette kits from the same era that'd be great.

[@B0bsUrUncle]

You know I'm going to like this because A: It's Hpiguy. 2: It's a Corvette. and C: lol It's blue. 4: I get to learn new trivia.

[@davidl.miller8168]

What a beautiful car! Very nicely done!!

[@jesseortega8598]

I have two older issues of this kit! The oldest being the AMT Ertl version. And then the newer issue that shows it Orange on the front. But no extra white Wall tires.

[@brucesmith1383]

Great job on that Corvette! Sweet color choice too! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@craigfresch575]

love that color combo!!!

[@mullins6429]

That’s a very cool kit with all those variations 👍🇦🇺

[@maryfiltz800]

Great looking Corvette. This is the one they used in the tv show Route 66, I believe.

[@terryforbes4038]

Nice build. I love building these kits. Originally from Kenosha, now in Florida. Terry&ThePirates

[@The8429]

Very nice Christopher

[@KimMiskell-j6w]

Sweet build thanks for sharing

[@lylebriggs923]

The weather is playing the same game here in Washington state

[@DiceandDungeons]

Great Vette...we love watching fellow scale modelers although we have been doing submarines and rat finks lately. More cars soon. Liked and subscribed.

[@openexhaustmodels5139]

Very cool build mate👍

[@RamBoyToy]

Great video 👍👍👍👍👍

[@michaelhobbyshop]

Turned out great

[@dongordon4464]

Instead of snips I would use a sanding drum on a Dremel Beautiful

[@waynehawkins9090]

Looks good sir!

[@subtle7hunder62]

Beautifully done!

[@darrelkinney9856]

Cool video I’ve got a 60 in black and red interior. Built a few years ago. - has anyone seen a 73 chevelle’s made by the big two company’s . I found a race car stocker , no stock ss, or Laguna, lS3 slope nose . Did see a nascar once , haven’t seen any since.

[@timcarson8146]

Great video Chris! How does this compare to the MPC 1960 Corvette that you built a few months ago??

[@Trueno1600]

Your parts review got me scratching my head... As a kid, I built Revell's version of this Corvette; it was part of the "Skip's Fiesta" series of cars. Now, I can confirm that AMT's and Revell's are 2 different kits, but I'm 95% sure that Revell's kit had the exact same front grill/bumper, with the molded-in "1960" license plate, same font and everything... Weird!!!

[@CJCuddy-d3m]

What kind of display turn table do you have?

[@stillno1]

In this video, for clear coat, you mentioned Future Floor Polish, as you have in past vids.... As it was "discontinued" in 2014, what product do you actually use now? Or, do you have a 10+ year old jug of Future?😅 Also, do you sand or otherwise prep paint before adding the clear? Love your posts, especially the older trucks and "everyday" vehicles! Cheers!

[@hpiguy]

Thanks for the nice words! I do not sand, I spray and that's it. Simple, fast, enjoyable modeling right from the box. I've done a video on a suitable alternative to Future Pledge Floor Shine called Quick Shine on store shelves. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4HMmn9rqJmKiNU

[@stillno1]

Thanks for the quick reply! I'm surprised I had not found the video you linked to.....I've been through a lot of your older posts.... I actually have a bottle of Quick Shine and I will give it a try this weekend. Thanx again!

[@ranosian1135]

I have the lego version of this

[@UrbanoDagrippino]

They don't make kits like this any more

[@DavidPayne-j5z]

Can you say parts box filler
