Good point, good luck with the build

These views make me want to build one now! Is there any chance you are casting the flares? If so, I'll be waiting in line.

I don't know what your process is but I would suggest using some form of a reducer. Start at 0% where you want to start the fade and go in incriments of 25% and work you way down over top the white

That was mine and it was the Dali Lama by the way; I found it during my philosophy class. I didn't post it from a religious point of view, i just thought it made sense. As I stated, it wasn't that positive so I changed my post with the original as a basis for my new post.

I realized my original post wasn't too positive so let me change it and repost something along the same lines: "Do everything and regret nothing. It's all a learning experience" -anonymous

I found this inexpensive way to vacuum form parts with nothing more than a 2 liter bottle, peanut butter jar, and a vacuum cleaner. http://makezine.com/projects/how-to-make-your-own-plastic-vacuum-former/

Great stuff! I really like the 1959 Lola

Probably just that. Remember that is not a transmission but rather where the torque tube connects. The vents are probably there to allow air flow to cool down the components.

This is an awesome build! Please tell me you are going to use the holes in the front as pockets for headlights.

You sir have the worst luck with this build, but it looks like it will turn out great. I cannot wait to see more

I got these goodies in the mail to build a replication of my dad's 1:1

Same here in central Michigan Von. I guess our storm has moved to the east coat and in Connecticut they have closed every road in the state.

Will someone please post a photoshopped 1969 corvair coupe with a 1974 opel mantas c pillars and rear windshield, I have no photoshop skills lol

I started working on my floor and then got a small drafting table that I use now. I could use more space but I also have other stuff on it.

I'm watching closely because I have a similar build in mind: my dad's 1:1 that is no longer with us. I like what I see so far

Oh I know. I just didn't know how many people read that article.

That's funny but true. As for the car, I like it. GM has pulled out all the stops with this one, that's why they have it the stingray name (for special generations). Hand crafted leather seats, carbon fiber dash. At least most of us agree that the interior is a major upgrade from the previous generation. Yea, you are right when you say it looks like other high performance cars and that's because aerodynamics have certain properties that are difficult to use with any shape. I think this thing is supposed to get like 30 mpg! Plus 450 horses and a top speed close to 200 as well as a 50/50 weight bias and a 2 foot narrower turning radius. What more could you ask for? I agree that I don't like the rear end as much because it is not corvetteish, maybe because then it would've looked too much like a Ferrari (the round tailights). At least they are not doing the retro-thing.

This is an awesome build. I can see a bit of an A-body chevelle in there. I would say move the door line back because there just seems like empty space behind the door.

Does anyone make dc-2 wheels in 1/24 or 1/25 scale? Here are the wheels and thanks ahead of time.

Hey Antonio, I am going into transportation design as well but through College for Creative Studies. Good luck with the program

Yea, they broke off. I did not know that, thank you.

Thanks guys?I also planned on taking new pictures since these aren't that great. Z, I was thinking of rebuilding this one but I might build an additional.

I started with the Revell sedan hot rod kit and cut the roof off and angled the windshield back. The engine and wheels are from a diecast viper and the seats are from the Revell camaro. This has been done for some time, this being the third model I have done. The work is not good but I liked the idea.

Nice work and nice 1:1, is that an olds bravada bumper on it?
