Scale Corvette Garage....

[critt99]

Wow, I am so glad I stumbled on to this forum...you are my kinda folks..
I customize die-cast Corvettes almost exculsively..Callaway and racer conversions are my favorite. I will try to start from the beginning and add to the forum one step at a time...I hope you enjoy....and welcome to my garage...

It all began in a little house….no not really, but it began 20 years ago. I grew up in a body shop painting cars and went to college to make big bucks so I could afford Corvettes. Well, guess what, I am out of 10 years of higher education and still broke…I do these projects for stress relief. I became hooked on Corvettes at birth and Callaway’s in 1989 when I visited Old Lyme, CT. I then moved to Germany and visited Callaway Competition in 1996 when they were in the Le Mans battles and the development of the C7R racer. I have documented Callaway racing for 12 years and have a library of over 8000 original Callaway and other Corvette racing images. For the last year I have been fabricating Callaway Corvette Z06-R’s for several folks directly related to the FIA GT racing effort. I have completed 5 and am finishing 6 and 7 over the next few months. They begin as a HotWheels Z06 and I canabilize an AutoArt C6R..(gasp..that is a waste you say?..it is ironic that the C6R costs 2-3x the Z06)

Wow! I am impressed dude! I did not think such modifications to die casts was even possible but you have made me a believer!

This bad-boy started life as a Masito Gransport 1996 and evolved over the next 5 years to this. It is not the original, as it was destroyed by accident. Fortunately I had made the mold for the body panels..This car now sits in the collection of the owner of the real life "Frieda" as built by Callaway Competition in 1994....




Here is the Street Version....almost complete..


Oh by the way...here is my Callaway C7R prototype...1/18th scale
