1967 Corvette 427 (coupe & roadster) (Ertl)

The links above will take you to pictures of the listed 67 Corvettes. These cars were all detailed similarly so the description of the detailing is outlined only once on this page.

If customers didn't send me some cars I doubt many of my own cars would ever get detailed. It's hard to find time to detail my own cars. It is much easier to "assembly line" a number of similar cars so when someone sends me a car to do and I have similar cars, I try to do them all at once. The red car is a customer request but the others are all my own. The black roadster is one of my oldest cars. I had attempted to detail it years ago with mixed results. I redid it all and it looks much better this time around. Amazing what having detailed hundreds of cars can do for your detailing skills!

All the cars received full painted details and chrome details. Since the Corvette has no exterior trim in need of chroming, I instead focused that aspect on the interior. The consoles and dash areas were detailed with chrome trim added to the consoles, shifter plates, dash knobs and radios. The silver car had damaged chrome on the side pipes so those were chrome foiled to look new again.

The under hoods were painted flat black and the engines received detailing to (L88) air cleaners, master cylinders, radiator caps, hose clamps, water inlets and batteries. From underneath you can see the fuel pumps, starters and oil filters have also been detailed.

The under carriage detailing consists of painted details on the steering link, front shocks, drive shaft, transmissions, half shafts, rear tie rod links and differential housings have been detailed. The fuel tanks were painted as well as the heads of the screws the are placed right in the tank.

The wheels of each car were detailed appropriately. The rallies got silver paint on the "steel" portion of the wheel. The finned wheels on the roadster took the best to the detailing with black paint adding some depth to the spokes. The grills of the cars got a little blackwash for depth as well.

Details unique to the red car include removal of the black stinger stripe and a wired distributor added to the engine.

Take a few minutes to view the individual picture pages to see plenty of photos of each car.
