jdhog Posted June 11, 2020 Posted June 11, 2020 Fun little kit that went together well....except for the exhaust and exhaust tips. Paint is Duplicolor Frost White with 2K Clear Glamour.
Monty Posted June 12, 2020 Posted June 12, 2020 As a previous owner, I always look forward to seeing a well-built C3, and it looks like you've done a great job on this, especially on some of the smaller details like the front and rear air inlets. If memory serves, white has been a factory option for every year Corvette, but it's rarely seen on models for some reason. Yours certainly makes the case for it. If possible, I'd like to see a chassis pic or two. Also, can you elaborate on the trouble you had with the exhaust/tips?

There was not really any points (unless I missed them) to anchor the exhaust to the chassis. I attached the exhaust to the manifold then the exhaust tips to the rear of the body. Of course I could have totally bungled it.
RAMBENNA Posted June 12, 2020 Posted June 12, 2020 very nice indeed, white does look good on this build. I did one of these also, was a nice build
jdhog Posted June 13, 2020 Author Posted June 13, 2020 Thanks for the nice comments. When I was growing up, one of my dad's friends had a white C3 Vette. I'm not sure of the year, but I remember being mesmerized by the door handles. I thought they were the coolest thing I had ever seen. When I opened the box, I knew this model needed to be painted white.

Gramps46 Posted June 13, 2020 Posted June 13, 2020 Looks really good with the detail you have picked out.

Paint is Duplicolor Frost White with 2K Clear Glamour. Nice clean build! I especially like the hood scoop on that year's 'Vette. Do you have and straight-on profile photos? From what I see from the photos you posted it seems that the model sits kind of high on its wheels. It is not something that you did wrong - probably just the way the kit is designed. Or maybe just an optical illusion. Edited June 14, 2020 by peteski
