Corvette Technical Data

The following dimensions will be the basis for the construction of a 1/5 scale Corvette model. With these dimensions in mind, the photographs will be enlarged to 1/5 scale and Mylar overlaid to produce the necessary tape drawings for the vehicle.

The tape drawings will then be used as a guide to build the buck for the 1/5 scale model.
