  6. Hello.......thank you all for the kind comments..........I did some surgery on the dash.........I could not figure out what dash the 1:1 came from........it must have been custom made.......so I used a Chrysler dash and customized it.........I still need to do a little work to it.........not perfect but, good enough for the girls I go with........also made shifter , steering wheel and a telephone........I think the phone will look more to scale once I putty paint and add the cord ........thanks for looking.
  7. James........I have dropped builds in the chopped top fab.....I have sanded in the chopped top fab........they broke every time.........I learned that I had to do something to re-inforce it ...... so I tried the wire trick and it really made it strong.......I don`t need to be etxra careful while handling.......plus it adds detail to the door jams........thanks.

  10. Terry........you are right.......it is absolutely wrong.........it was built a few years back........that is when I really did not research very much.......I just used parts from diffirent kits ........that looked like what I needed........believe me I have had ........allot of people point out my mistakes.......I`m not perfect but, I have really tried to research on my recent builds........I am thankful for the critics........It made me want to build more accurate.........but,like I said this build was built along time ago....... I just figured a few modelers would like to see "BeachCity" Corvette built....... right after I built this a........a guy that works for Chip Foose wanted to buy it for $500.00 0r trade for Foose die cast and a tour and meet Foose.........I guess I should have sold it?........but,now I`m stuck with a lemon .........maybe I should build it again?

  17. Ray........I worked on it about 5 1/2 hours today.........that is about the average time I work on builds.......but,sometimes 0ne hour......maybe two........it depends........the day before working on a build.........I set a goal of what I want to accomplish.........and I work until I finish that goal........Mock-up is the most time consuming to me........it is like actually building the model........making sure everything fits right........then tear down,primer and paint.......then assembly.......that goes really fast.......thanks.
