Devilsnake98 Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 (edited) Here is my new project I have going right now. Revell 1967 Corvette Coupe. Doing it up as the base 390 hp 427 available in 67 instead of the usual big 435 hp version, black paint with a red hood stinger and red interior. Also doing a build I usually don't do, and that's completely stock, except adding as much obvious detail as possible. I have the engine done and detailed with plug wires in the correct routing, dipstick made and installed, temp sender and wire installed, breather and PCV hoses and fuel lines installed and in the correct routing, and exhaust manifolds with just a little orange overspray. I also have the complete interior done, in duplicolor universal red on all panels, dullcoat applied to the dash and door panels, the natural finish of the duplicolor left on the seats to give some contrast of the shined up leather/ vinyl look. I used bright red flocking for the carpet, BMF'd all chrome accents on the seats, door panels, dash, and console. Also installed the kit gauge decals and covered them in clear enamel paint to simulate lenses, painted the steering wheel in a rust color that was close enough to the rosewood wheel that's in the real car. More in a sec. And last for now is the chassis, all OOB with details. Painted in semi gloss black, the green colored sections are the floor boards, they are fiberglass that is gelcoated and covered in etching primer, so I used etch primer to simulate this. All components detail painted, brake lines are added where necessary( even though most cant be seen), e-brake cables were added, Wheels were detail painted, tires were sanded smooth, red line decals applied, and then dullcoated. The engine is now installed along with the entire chassis is done except the radiator and front wheel tubs. Thanks as always for looking and all comments and crits are welcome.

Snake45 Posted August 4, 2015 Posted August 4, 2015 Looks VERY good, and as far as I can see you've got all the colors and details right. Well done and drive on!
Devilsnake98 Posted August 4, 2015 Author Posted August 4, 2015 Thanks you guys, it's kind of weird doing a stock build but I'm liking it so far. I will get the inner fenders, radiator and hoses done probably tonight, then body work can start. I'll update with more pics.

Devilsnake98 Posted August 5, 2015 Author Posted August 5, 2015 As promised got the front inner fenders in, washer fluid tank, radiator assembly, and upper and lower hoses in. A little less exciting of a update than the 1st, but it's something haha.
om617 Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 Very nice finish and detail,going to look beautiful black with the red interior.
MeatMan Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 Very nice Ryan. I need to do a stock build and focus on making it clean and classy like you have.
landman Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 Very clean workThat, and then some. A pleasure to look at.
mustang1989 Posted August 8, 2015 Posted August 8, 2015 Man what a great job! That engine and interior look great and you did just as good of a job on those wheels and tires!!! Wow!
Sean W Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 This looks outstanding. I really love the wheels. Great job all the way around. Keep it up
Kit Basher Posted August 9, 2015 Posted August 9, 2015 Looks great! Amazing BMF work on the interior, that can't be easy. Everything is top notch, can't wait to see more.
Devilsnake98 Posted August 9, 2015 Author Posted August 9, 2015 Looks great! Amazing BMF work on the interior, that can't be easy. Everything is top notch, can't wait to see more.The bmf definitely took a while, and some patients too, but well worth it.Thanks for all the positive comments everyone, it means a lot.I'm currently cleaning up the body and getting it ready for primer. Nothing really picture worthy but will have something worth showing in a day or 2.
Devilsnake98 Posted August 15, 2015 Author Posted August 15, 2015 Not much of an update on the vette. Just finished getting the body cleaned up of imperfections and mold lines, then shot 2 coats of duplicolor filler primer on it. Gonna paint the panel lines black to help with painting, then "block" it with 1000 grit so the black goes down smooth.
