Model car shows are filled with competition cars and street rods. I wish there were more custom entries like your sublime Corvette. It may be because custom cars require more of an artist’s eye which is in much shorter supply in the modeling community.

Beautiful build Doug. Love the color and cleanly built. Please let me know how I can contact you. I would like to talk about your NNL video. Thank you. Steve Keith

[@scalecustomworkz7837]

AB-SO-LUTE-LY love what you did here! Though a Canadian national award winner I still learn a lot even after building for 45 years from individuals like you. TankZ

[@williambarrett3538]

Gorgeous build. It was a real treat to be able to see this model in person at NN L East. It takes Steve Sanford’s drawing to the next level. Really excellent workmanship.

[@artyfarty87]

The frosted clear plastic is a "happy accident". The car looks looks awesome, Uncle!!! Thanks for sharing.

[@KarlScaleModeling]

That's awesome right there, looks amazing with all the modifications you've performed to it. Love the design, well done 👍🏼👍🏼

[@michaelcooke2559]

Excellent build. The subtle changes really make the model stand out. The color choices for the build are absolutely wonderful. Thanks for sharing.

[@Gabriel-Abdala]

I saw that car at NNL-EAST--love the color

[@billgiltzow4464]

It sure caught my eye at NNL East. Answered my question about the hood too, thanks.

[@cruzer2123]

Very nice Doug, Irv gifted me one of those small plaques as well, planning on using it on a low rider some time in the future……

[@billmcevoy241]

Such a beautiful silhouette on that build. That light box is a great idea, i think led lighting is something I'll try.thank you!!

[@Builtbyronny]

Great 👍

[@WoodysScaleModelGarage]

Looks Great Doug looking forward to seeing it on the table at NNL EAST 😊

[@JamesJackson-dq2tj]

Fabulous build!

[@Jan-u6r]

I just love the ingenuity of all the details you use in all your builds! Keep up the good work and I appreciate all your videos and learn something every time I watch them!( cos I can now watch them on my " smart TV")

[@moparnut6286]

Just AWESOME.

[@jerrybailey5797]

Really cool take on a C2 Corvette 👍

[@Nitro1320]

Super cool build! Loved this video highlighting all that you did. Lots of modifications but they are subtle and everything works. Great eye for design. Knocked it out of the park as usual.

[@ronalddrain8033]

I agree that sometimes those sketches really fuel our imagination. Great job on the build. Thank you for sharing!

[@johnnyvscustomsgaragetassie.]

Wow, Doug that is stunning. Love the cleaner lines of that design. Bravo Sir. Cheers JV

[@photogr4u]

AWESOME build Doug! Love the Corvettes

[@csj9619]

Fantastic kustom! I love all of your choices, especially the Astro Supreme wheels, ride height and paint color. I'm pretty good at model building, but you sir, are on a whole other level.

[@laskiscalespecialties3316]

Love those mods, Doug! Nice work.

[@geoffhipwell2198]

You've done great job bringing that sketch to life. It's also a favourite car are mine, yet I've never built one, 'Yet'. Although I'm in love with the 'split window', you've now got me thinking twice. Great job.

[@BIGJIM1934]

Awesome build!

[@modelcarmadness5119]

Man, that is amazing, so many subtle changes that you'd never notice.

[@Memorylanemodelcars2]

Great Vette Doug I'm working on That Same Recent Reissue is Dead Man's Curve Tribute So it Had to Have 327 Tri- Carb Six Taillights Stock Blue Metallic With Orange & Red Vintage Flame's Torque Thrust Mag with Spokes Painted Flat White to Go With White Interior

[@dmgscalemodels2825]

To take that kit and make it look like that is a testament to your abilities!

[@TD-Modelisme]

Absolutely gorgeous build 😲

[@jackoszuscik6669]

EXCRUCIATINGLY AWESOME YO! KUDOS ON THE BUILD 👍

[@rogerwachal3718]

Very nice, the '63 is my favorite year

[@BillyStrangeAutoModels]

That color really pops! Fantastic build!

[@bradalgra8088]

Great custom Vette Doug! Stanford is an amazing artist.

[@LeftCoastModelCarBuilds]

Love this build, there are a few images of some pearl white mild custom Vettes I want to build similar in style! Great work!

[@stevecourtneyscalekustomz2602]

Very nice build

[@alancyr3100]

Very beautiful work! Thanks for sharing.

[@1968fordman]

Love Evans Designs. They're just north of me in Ft Collins, CO. That's one beautiful build, love it!

[@BigSkyModelWorkshop]

Stunning.

[@FranksModelWorks]

There’s such a weightlessness to all of the design elements you incorporated, Doug. But I think the Arter Rake is the perfect counterpoint…imparting a grounding effect that balances all of the cues.

[@ModelCarMuse]

Thank you, Frank. I love that you used the term "weightlessness"; that's what I was going for.

[@linkpoison5511]

Wow, what a great job. Looks so slick.

[@RobertSchildt-vt8yw]

Really nice Corvette Doug , I'm still in awe over ! Thae paint job is really cool as well!

[@modelrestorations]

Beautiful work Doug! I would have never known some of the little details you added and removed. Cutting the little strips for the chrome is an excellent idea. The license plate is a great touch. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@billstewart5421]

Beautiful model!!! Great job!!!

[@jeffersonchocron]

Amazing model and True inspiration!

[@rixkafer56]

Looks awesome... i built that kit in the late 70s and i still have it.. i looked for the 67 reverse light and it doesnt have it... anyway i painted candy apple red and the rest is box stock.. its my best surviivor from my youth... i just turned 60🥳✌️

[@busterscustoms]

Incredible craftsmanship. Lots of ideas for many different builds. Thanks for sharing.

[@michaelhintzmikesminiature1812]

Great looking Vette!!! Love the stance. Very subtle but Awesome!!!! Thanks for sharing

[@jasonrothgeb6071]

I was long overdue to watch and subscribe. I enjoyed the explanation of why you made the changes you did in customizing this design as well a look at the improvements Round 2 made to this kit in its most recent re-release.

[@ghrobbs]

Your builds never cease to amaze me. I love your vision on this project.

[@theintake8961]

[@harveykeeler2661]

Awesome build

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Beautiful build Doug

[@KitbashedKustoms]

Holy crap!! beutiful build! And so inspiring!!!!! Love it!!!

[@pappytinkers]

I've been wanting to try some of those Evans Lights, if you use them, they must be good! Awesome Vet! The changes are subtle but you know at the first glance something is different. The color even says this isn't just a light blue. I can only imagine how good it looks in person!

[@heribertogomez7]

You have skills sir wow amazing work ❤❤❤

[@jeffmercer8364]

Very Very nice and Unique!

[@bkmodelcars]

Absolutely gorgeous Doug Very nicely done

[@ronstewart9792]

[@Shift2Movies]

[@timkustom]

Beautiful Vette and cool lighting effect!

[@bigchef2112]

Just beautiful!🏆

[@daviddebaca]

That's beautiful!

[@edwardnash7411]

Very Nice Like it

[@davidwalker4426]

Clever to lengthen the side window. I have a Triumph GT6 I started back in the day using balsa and wood filler! Maybe I should buy the kit again and finish it with a bit more skill! LOL

[@mrmagoo916]

I'd kill to put mechanical fuel injection on my 327 in my impala, great build love the colour.

[@hvychvy2001]

Beautiful build!! Can I ask what kit does the original wheels you were looking to use are in?”the Buick’s”

[@ModelCarMuse]

Thanks! The wire wheels were in the AMT Buick Riviera kit.

[@ScaleDreamsStudio]

I never thought of using a 6x7 film carrier to hold plastic for vacuum forming.

[@ModelCarMuse]

You have an eagle eye and some good old-time knowledge!

[@venvnco6259]

Looks nice. What did you use for body filler.

[@ModelCarMuse]

I used Evercoat 2-part Glazing Putty. There is an affiliate link to it in the description! Using that helps us support the channel. I like this product because putty hardens quickly and doesn't shrink over time.

[@moisesmunoz5549]

I wish there was more models, like 48 chevy fleetlines or 48 fords

[@jamesscott346]

Kustom ❤ 🎶 🎵

[@waltee3022]

Doug, How do I reach you for a commission inquiry?

[@ModelCarMuse]

Hi Waltee. For business inquires you can find an email address in Channel Details in the About section on the channel page.

[@kiethpederson7558]

There are some who build models and there ate some that really build models

[@ericverpeten8503]

👍👍👌👌

[@eds6643]

Curious not critical, trying to learn... since you wanted 3 tail lights and full window, why not start with a '65 body.. thanks

[@ModelCarMuse]

Good question. Several reasons: I started thinking I would use my old kit from when I was a teen, but when that proved to be problematic it seemed natural to go with the re-release of the same, maybe for nostalgia reasons and it was easier to obtain. Also, if I had used the '65, I would have modified and increased the size of the back window anyway, so cutting out the center was no big deal. Plus, the '65 still only had 4 tail lights from the factory.
