I have to start a new project!
I don't know too much about racing history, I go for what appeals to my eyes when I choose subjects. This one I can't resist!
Maybe not as sophisticated a design as some of the European cars from the period, but has, I think, a flavor of '50s science fiction style...
It was made to support sales of the stock Corvette but is a real race car aimed for leMans. It raced only once, at Sebring, and was very fast but did not finish.
Shortly after, GM stopped all factory racing. So this is one of those „could have been “.
There are lots to read on the web, if anyone is interested, here is one:

Off we go.
I made my own „blueprint“. This is just to get the right dimensions for the lump of wood. When it all comes down, it's about looking at photos.
Open cars are generally more easily done, but this one definitely contains challenges! We have the „dollar grin“ grille, the side panels, and more...
Wish me luck!
