Here is a side view. The stance is the kit stance. No mods to get the car a nice stance. Kit was like a tamiya kit. This is one heck of a kit.

Just about finished. I’m not installing the vent windows on the doors because I have to recreate one. It went flying off of the sprue like a bullet. Lost somewhere. Left door mirror and license plate is all that’s remaining. Nice kit . I recommend it. This is out of box.

Hello guys. When I was working at the ford dealership, I was working on the ford GTs and the GT 500’s. There was one car that was unique. At that time (around 05-06) was a black GT 500 for export only. Black with grey snakeskin stripes with red pinstripes around the big stripes and side stripes. Beautiful car. The seats were black with red piping all thru the interior. This car had 640 hp rather than the 500 for the regular GT 500’s. Naturally we had to take her for a test drive. My buddy Steve, was the new car manager. I took this car an uphill on ramp and it was going sideways. Totally crazy. I took her back to the dealership and said this car will kill someone. On the sticker was in bold print, extremely powerful GT 500, be extremely careful. It went to Finland. That was the most beautiful GT 500 I have ever seen and one that made me clean my shorts. These cars should require special driving school before delivery. But fast forward to today, I work on so many C8 corvettes because of this same thing. You guys will love this one. A hemp dealer ( yes it’s legal here) has a dispensary, bought a new C8. Let his 17 year old drive it. You guys know the rest. Ran it off road. Four tires and wheels, new sub frames , 4 blown shocks. And misc other suspension items . So guys the beat goes on and on……..

Working on a 1/43 427 corvette. Just about finished. Put the emblems on. Windshield next

How did I miss this? Very nice!

This is cool! Great job

Perfect color! Great work

Perfect

You bet…. Keep up the great work!

I have to add…. This is a hot rod. Everything goes. Cutting , sectioning , creative painting , it’s all what you want. I have an extensive portfolio on models and real cars . Met the big guys in the industry and even built things for them. I’m working on Ferrari 296 challenge cars right now. My examples are in pics. As for models I have won the special award at the Las Vegas IPMS nationals with a few seconds and a third place award. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and mine is this is one cool build. Keep it up!

Very nice!

Sidepipes installed. And the photoetch covers. I wish they had this on 1/25 cars

The wheels and tires on the bbr kit. It’s very nice

Here is a bbr kit. The body is very good. But look at the under side. Not even close to the inexpensive monogram kit. I’ve said it before, I do not know why these were not a great hit in Europe. I will build the 246 Dino in the future. But the cobra is next.
