Been smoothing out the body after first primer and I also made the splitter permanent. I also decided that Al the cooling air needed for the engine needs to go some where so I made a hood vent.

Thanks dan! I am also for it so i think i will! It sure did feel good to finally be able to have it one collor instead of al the different ones. Thanks! I agree, it should be flat it suits it better than the old style scoping effect as they had on old TA cars. Hehe they are nice and i like the width but i am leaning on printing a set of new wheels and nwe front tires so i will print these for the rears.

And here is primer!!

primer time!!

It sure does!! Feelt realy nice to get there and to night i will try to AB som primer on. I post progress pics later

Got my race silverado prepped for first coat of primer

I saw these 2 today, not my picture but i belive its the same cars from UK, Lancia Stratos, replicas, they where well made and used to drive to the north cape and back! I saw them north of the Arctic Circle. And a Integrale was with them.

Pushrod suspension is done.

Got an idea at work today, what doy you guys think of this idea? Open upp the lower openings to become larger air inlets.

Got this done over the last few days. I have installed a bunch of magnets for holding the hood as well as the front and to hold the engine in place. i also started with 3mm aluminum rod to make an exhaust from the turbo then drilled the end of the turbo and the pipe and placed a magnet there as well. I also drilled holes for the exhaust in the bedside. I have also made the integrated racing high beams, I will be using the clear glass from the C5-R kit later but it looks cool even with the corvette coverplate, had to turn everything upside down due to the shape of the bumper. I also got some more work done on my rear suspension. What do you guys think about the front splitter? Yey or nay?

Here is some examples of Swedish trucks with that idea. These first 2 are conventional diesel and the others are electric. Two of them are for the mining industry here in the arctic region. electrics:

I agree. I like the porsche ones better, shoudl be black though, but the steelies with bigger meets would be cool, but they dont go as well with the paint scheme.

Looks like a Volvo or Scania Truck, much like the ones we have here exept the wheel covers and aerodynamic tail.

Looking great mate, as always! Details are subtile and nice yet effective! Great work!

Managed to more or less finalize the frame work/cage for my C5R Silverado. Fender supports in the front are there as well as body mounts for the rear quarters. I almost think i am starting to be done with frame work exept for som finishing touches and some platic card on the dashboard.

Made some more work on the piping. And I am actually feeling that I am starting to be done with the frame work. I Just need to sort the rear pushrod suspension and then I believe the frame to be done except for finning touches on seems and such. And I sorted my miss alignment, it was a portion of the firewall pushing the body to one side. What’s your thoughts?

Thanks Steve! Nice hearing from you! The 3D printer for sure helps when cad design in some cases is so much easier and quicker for me than doing the scratch building it self But piping is one thing that i prefere to do tradisionaly still

I have made some progress on the chassis, arms are fixated and fitted as they should. I also made the front part of the cage again and think I managed to make some thing that looks good and should be “functional” and support the IC. But I also noticed a big issue that I have no clue to how to solve.. everything is glued in its correct spots as I recall, but the chassi is shifted to the right. It can be clearly seen on the AArms and how the wheel is attached, you see more of the brake disc. Anny ideas on how to sort it? I have thought about taking out the correct amount in the bottom “plate” and ad on the other side. Would make the bottom to be offset but everything else to be correct. Thoughts? and comments are always appreciated!

Sweet! Great work on that kit! Painting looks flawless!

Thats looking bad as! Those flares are bad as, from what are they?

Thanks Dan!

I got the parts printed and test fitted. Looking good! Also been installing the dash and adjusting the fitment to the cage. I also started the fuel fillers that I am recycling from the C5R.

Nice progress! i havent made springs from styrene but i have done the same with bras rod, works great!

Nice build! and its nice seeing this kit beeing built.
