Hello, My elbow hurts. Can I stop polishing now? This is as good as it will get. But it will probably get one final wax job after all body details are done, maybe after final assembly. Something I've learned from previous builds is to remove residue as much as possible, because it is hard to remove afterwards. Hope you like it. Thanks,

Depending on what information you already have, I'd search current kits in HLJ and model express. From there I'd check eBay for a few days / weeks. That should give you a heads up of most of them. These are also good sources for boxart as well. Hope this helps. Thanks,

David, Welcome to the forum!!!! Glad to see you here. Another Corvette Heavy Hitter Joins!!! Regards,

Very nice! That color scheme is a natural.

Simon, Silver is to german cars like red to italian cars... a natural! Se ve bien........ Te llamo... Thanks, Ismael

Very nice! Love the accesories in the back. That rake is different to the Arter's rake A distant relative of my wife has one in very VERY bad shape in a farm under a tree, and somebody just paid a lot of money for it for a restoration project. Thanks,

That color is very hard to photograph. Mine looks red in almost all pictures as well. Only on a direct sunlight and/or slightly overexposed pic it will look orange. That's my favorite color for a C6 coupe. Thanks,

Len, that is gorgeously beautiful. Is that Monterey red? I use Moon mud primer on all my Cobra Colors jobs. Before Moon mud, I used Plastikote T-235 with excellent results. Unfortunately, Plastikote disappeared from the face of the earth, at least here. I liked to use it as a "coarse" primer for general use and sanding, and then moon mud as a fine primer before color. But now is Moon mud only. Thanks,

Update: OK, repaint idea is off. I was able to get most imperfections out with a little more elbow grease. There are still a few spots to take care of, but nothing major. Biggest "problem" so far is this: easy to fix with an airbrush pass. Thanks,

Len, That color is yellow That is Cobra Colors Velocity Yellow, a factory correct finish. It is a bit more "lemony" than Millenium yellow, which is a little bit more "orangy". Thanks,

As another Ferrari enthusiast myself, welcome!

Hello, Here we go again, picking up where we left 2 weeks ago. I continued polishing the Z06 body. There are a few spots that may need some additional care but PLEASE help me get away from the stupid idea of a repaint. I'll try to take some pics in natural daylight tomorrow. That's it for now. It's good to be back, even if it's only for a few minutes Thanks,

Thanks Peter! I had a vague idea but you made it clear. I'm trying that on my current build. Thanks,

We are the same age: (1970) These are my kids, and no that is not forced labor.... Thanks,

Wow That is GREAT information. I have no interest on the subject, but it was so interesting and your attention to detail is so intense I went thru it completely. Don't worry about the language. It was clear enough. Thanks,

Mr. Tom Carter: You are such a class act my friend! Whenever I've been asked why I'm no longer active on the HHMB I always make the note that I support H/H and I have a great deal of admiration for you, what you have done, for what you are doing and for working so hard to keep it clean. Cheers,

Brian, Not only it looks great, but the first picture is so realistic I thought it was a 1:1 reference pic. Great job! She's a keeper! Thanks,

Mark, As usual, I can't find words beyond WOW! Your work is in a class by itself. How did you do the toggle switches? Also, in the last picture, the third gauge from left to right, Does the pointer pivots down the bottom like the first one? Thanks,

That's coming along very nicely. The inboard front brakes setup is interesting. It looks like it could have been developed into an all wheel drive setup. Looking forward to see it finished. Thanks,

Never mind. I found the continuation part video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXjjpQwHDI4...ar%20Koenigsegg Thanks,

Whaaaat? :x WOW that's wild.... The video stops way too soon. I wonder how much damage it sustained. It didn't look like a violent life-threatening wreck but been all carbon fiber it certainly must have suffered..... Anyone has more info on that? Was the guy hurt? Thanks,

Hmmmm, I've used the masking tape trick before, but the acetate trick looks like worth a try......

Nice build Lyle! I Love to see more and more C6 built.... Thanks,

Charlie, I'm late to the party but I also vote for the 360. I built this Tamiya 360 coupe and it just fell together. It's a great kit to work with. Cobra Colors Giallo Modena Thanks,

Leon, You have a magic hand to lay down beautiful paint jobs. That car really looks GREAT in that color. I finally got my hands into the elusive Fujimi Gallardo and I hope to make it justice with your Giallo Midas Pearl. Thanks,
