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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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……

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

Absolutely " GORGEOUS " Vette Sir 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 Thanks For Sharing n Have a Blessed Wknd Ahead " Memorial " Wknd Ahead 🙏🤗 Gary.

What a beautiful car! Your attention to detail amazes me.

Wow Doug, that is a stunning build. I hope tp see it In October at the show.

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.

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

So cool. Love it when drawings are brought to life… full scale or small awesome!

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

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")

Absolutely beautiful build!!!

This video had me mesmerized Doug! What an incredible Corvette! Thank you for sharing 😎👍

Awesome build, great attention to ….EVERYTHIING….as always👏👏👏

Absolutely gorgeous Doug Very nicely done

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.

Really cool take on a C2 Corvette 👍

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

Very nice build

Looks awesome Doug. Most modelers dog that kit but have always liked it. The changes you made just brought out the style of the Vette

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.

Beautiful build Doug

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

Very cool.🤓👍

Absolutely beautiful build, love the sketches 😊 sweet episode lights and all, enjoyed and have a great weekend Cheers🍻🍻 KC 🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘🏔🏔❄️🌨🌨🍻🍻

Beautiful build Doug. I love it. Ron

Wow, what a great job. Looks so slick.

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

Beautiful Vette and cool lighting effect!

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

Hello Model Car MUSE congratulations for one more video to enjoy the process of building this beautiful Car, thank you, your friend Oscar.

Love those mods, Doug! Nice work.

Absolutely gorgeous build 😲

It was a pleasure!

Very beautiful work! Thanks for sharing.

Awesome build! Reminds me of a car Chip Fosse would design & build!

That's beautiful!

Amazing model and True inspiration!

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🥳✌️

Beautiful model!!! Great job!!!

Beautiful build doug! Really like this!

Gorgeous.

Just beautiful!🏆

So inspiring my friend, thanks for sharing

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.

Awesome build!

Great 👍

Fabulous build!

AWESOME build Doug! Love the Corvettes

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

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

Awesome build

That color really pops! Fantastic build!

Very Very nice and Unique!

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

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!

Beautiful

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

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

You have skills sir wow amazing work ❤❤❤

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

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

Great custom Vette Doug! Stanford is an amazing artist.

I love it!

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

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

Amazing build Doug thank you for sharing it with us.

Breathtaking subtle custom! I love it!

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

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.

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.

Nah. 😢
