Ace-Garageguy Posted October 28, 2023 Author Share Posted October 28, 2023 (edited) Opened up the vents behind the coves, and finished up the wheel-arch lip detail molding... Then got both sides in primer. Not quite perfect yet, but getting pretty close. Need to smooth out the curve over the cove, and tighten up the hood fit.

Hoffman Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 Great work, Bill! Thoroughly enjoyed scanning through the project. I always liked the modified-sport Vette that inspired you. To some people cars are just raw material. It's what you do with them that counts. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted March 30 Author Share Posted March 30 Now that the weather's getting decent to paint outdoors again, I figgered I'd put her up on her wheels to give myself a little inspiration....but somewhere along the line I misplaced the decklid. No worries. I took the mold to the big-car shop where all my epoxy fiberglass stuff is at the moment and made another one. Next trick is to get the hood fitting a little better, then block everything again, and shoot her all in white primer. Rear axle needs a little adjustment to get the slicks dead center in the cutouts. This is disturbing, and I don't know where it crept in. Oh well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
