We built this in '04. Thanks Iz! 8)

I agree, it has a lot of potential. My son and I built the snap kit a couple of years ago. Turned out great! Don't wanna be a thread pirate, tho...

Soooo, Izzy was the first one to comment on a new Corvette post...... hmmmmmmm :roll: Excellent job on the finish. I have always like the silver and black of the pace car option.

Nice build! I like the 'blueing' on the exhaust.

Nothing to update. Been at the hospital a lot for Mom's cancer surgery, and have had no time for anything, let alone modeling. Is it just me, or does modeling feel like a self indulgence that is really hard to enjoy when some other things are in the queue? Not meant to be a pity party, just letting anyone who is interested in this build know that I am not letting it fade away. I hope to be shooting color this weekend. Thanks.

Interesting pic, Harry. Everything is out of focus except for the car. Did you " P'Shop" this one? Just wondering 8)

I really like the build. Very clean and the underhood detail is awsome. What manufacturer is it?

Very nice! What are the rims?

Nice tip Ken! Gonna check that one out!

Hey Irv, I must commend you on 'reference' photos number 2 through 5 in the Hot Rods at Ocean City MD show album! 8)

Howard, it will be interesting to see the reiteration from Darryl. While researching the real car, I found pictures of a Coffin Clone on Mark Gustavson’s sight.

Very funny, Jairus! With that avatar, all I could think of was Artie Johnson!

I have a picture of an Aerovette done in this fashion by Pat Covert. The effect is actually quite cool.

Intersting...You learn something new everyday! 8)

I love the red one! Just love that red and white combination. 8)

Nice build, Mike. What paint and color did you use?

Jairus, maybe just a decal 'insert' into an upcoming mag.....there are plenty of '55's out there waiting to be converted!

60's dash, round gauges, but with 'digital readout' decals

Here are the fabbed wheel wells, just need to shave them down at the pencil lines to fit within the body.

Here are some templates I made using the pan and the inside of the body cutout to trace the contours. These are the start of the wheel wells. Notice the notching on the left rear of the pan (right side in this photo) near the gas tank to create positive placement of the parts.

Excellent detail on the engine. What after market pieces did you use?

Very nice, Pat. What is the paint?

Simply awsome job, Steve! Where did those front drums come from?

You are right Brian. The ejector marks on the outter rims of the front wheels are just one more 'issue' with this kit. I read an article by someone else who fixed this problem by sanding just the outter edge smooth and then BMFing that surface. If that doesn't work, then I will just Allclad them.
