Great idea for displaying the Corvette. The extra detailing of the engine really adds to the look. Great looking paint work and the detailing of the interior is well done.

The paint finish and depth of the color looks great. Vinyl roof and matching tail stripes go well together.

Beautifully done Kustom body work and paint. The interior style and the way you got all the half rounds lined up look great.

Great looking paint work and decals. Like the hood scoop and the engine compartment.

Great looking paint color and finish. I like the aggressive look of the body tucked down between the fenders. Like the engine choice and detailing.

You might want to also check the tax laws in Kansas before you invest in anything of this nature. I do like your idea though.

Funny everyone is mentioning FedX drivers. Just yesterday my wife and I got back from shopping and lunch, I have to get out of her car so she can get as close to the garage wall as possible to allow our car doors not to hit each other's car in the garage. I'm standing just outside of the garage when I hear a sound that I recognized right away. The sucking sound of an internal combustion engine with the throttle wide open. The driver was coming out of the street about half a block from where I was standing and almost didn't stop for the stop sign at that corner, then guns it again past where I'm standing and then blows through the stop sign on the corner where we live. From there it is a block to the larger roadway and out of the area. You could hear him going up the slight grade going up the main road again with the engine wide open. My thought is they are hiring people with little or no driving skills who may have never operated a vehicle with the power of these big 1 ton plus delivery vans. They're "drunk" with the power and the sound of the engine. I would like to be a mouse in the corner when they have to explain to whoever is in charge of the fleet why their rig is broken or run into or over someone.

Congratulations on your new home. Insulate those walls and some sheet rock and semi-gloss white paint and make it a real pleasant place to work on your cars.

Beautiful looking paint finish and flames. As everyone else has mentioned, the sourcing of the many parts really work well together. I'll have to get one of these engines, the detailing is outstanding.

Beautiful looking paint finish and color. The steel wheels and red line tires fit the look. Good looking interior details. The display engine should be in the body.

Like the earlier build styles on these. The finishes and the engine detailing along with the trim or lack thereof are very distinct.

Great looking Impala. The colors and the engine and chassis detailing are realistic looking. I had a few friends that got new '65 Impalas as they were really popular at the time.

Great looking paint finish and color. Have always liked our sedan deliveries so this body style is very appealing. The additional detailing with the roof rack looks good.

Like the style of your build. Amazing how tall the stock roof looks. The smoothed body and extra louvers along with the blacked out trim really change the appearance. Like the stance along with the wheels & tires.

Great looking finishes and like the tan top and interior better than the white.

Great looking paint finish and color. This model and the subject are a favorite. I don't remember the convertible boot, was that in the kit?

Great looking bright yellow paint. The hood decal with the flames coming off the "screaming chicken" looks good.

Beautiful paint color and finish. Like the engine detailing.

Great looking paint finish and body trim details.

Like the chassis modifications and the Resin body has a good-looking roof height. The gap between the rear of the hood and the body shouldn't be too hard to correct.

Great looking color combination.

Great idea, although they all have been done in the past and it would seem that the owners still haven't been able to make the facility a viable investment. This is a shame since there is a lot of potential and investment in the existing infrastructure.

Tamiya offers several different Military type colors including some shades of blue in rattle cans. I have liked to use them in several builds in the past as the finish has a soft sheen requiring no additional clear coats and usually one light dusting seems to be fine.

I would also suggest Brian Croft's suggestion. In the past I have painted the appropriate colors on the back side of the clear plastic and then applied Bare Metal Foil. As for the outside trim portion that could be done with foil or a chrome pen depending on what you are comfortable with. As Brian pointed out the chrome foil seems to reflect the light the best and gives the lenses a sense of depth.

Thank you everyone. I looked at the colors that BMW offered on this body style and their shade of silver wasn't to my liking, so this is what I went with. The same with the interior. I recommend this kit if you're looking for something a little different and not real involved to build.
