Just a small update,

I just finished the clutch bellhousing. I used one from a Revell topfuel engine, but it needed some modifications.





I painted it first with a coat stainless seel (Model Master Metalizer) ...then I buffed the suface.



Then I layed a very thinn coat of Gun metal.

Lookin' good, this corvette should be amazing when it's done!

[RickArt]

After some gentle buffing and micro detailing it turned out like this...








About the resin bodies they are all sold out ...maybe I will cast some more in the future.

Oh yeah, one of the most awesome P/M bodies I've seen. This one has class, your chassis looks great and your detail is coming along fantastic. Love this one. I'm pulling for you!!

If the rest of this build come out anything like the body, chassis and tranny, this one will be a winner. Its outta da park!! Like the others have said, I'll be following this one closely.

[Top asphaltRods]

[Dragracer]

Bell housing detail looks great,along with that tranny I think it's gonna be a winner!

Rick, Awesome work on the P/M Vette body!

Are you selling these?

[Romell R]

This build is truly inspiring. keep up the excellent work!

[futurattraction]

Your Chevy II P/M was a fantastic project and this Vette is following in it's footsteps. The thing is, this is even cooler because of your custom body master. It looks out of this world so far, Rickard!

Rickard,
I've got a couple questions for you regarding your mold and resin. It looks like you've got a single injection point in the center of the roof, with vents at each end. Assuming I'm correct in that observation, do you have any particular trouble with trapping air anywhere? My second question: what brand of resin did you use to cast your bodies and what kind of cure time is it? Thanks... Scott

[RickArt]

Thanks guys,
Soon I will start on the engine build. Just posting some old pics of my resin parts that I´m going to use.
