Researching for a future project - Carver - 26th-Apr-23

Corvette XP-64 1957, AKA Corvette SS -57.

Looking for a usable blueprint, I found this on a Russian(!) website.

  If anyone know about a better blueprint, please let me know!


Best Regards

Is the nose on the blueprint not too short compared to the photo?
In the photo the car looks longer.
(I measured roughly from the screen)

Absolutely right, Rallyhub! Looks like there is something wrong with the tail as well.

One thing I have learned: Never trust a blueprint if it isn't a factory drawing!
Of this one-off car, thankfully,  there are loads of good photos I can work from. The XP-64 raced only once, never crashed, and has (sadly, but good from my point of view) spent the time in museums.

But there are good and bad plan views, a good one would be nice... If they have a bad plan in Russia, there should be a better one in the USA!
