Sock It To Me Corvette

[AC Norton]

I dug up Ace's build, if anyone's interested.

mine is painted in the other testors met. orange spray,,, forget the name as the can got tossed ages ago,,,,but look at how totally different Bill's color is from mine.....I polished mine out with wax and all, but no clear was added.....I think Bill's color then topped with clear looks better overall.....may have to build another one day,,,,,,i think the wild decals would look great over a nice  bright met. blue with clear blue overspray too......the combos of color here are endless.....sure do like Bill's car, though.......the Ace...

They have "Flaming Orange" and "Firey Orange." One of them is available in the "small" Testor display, and both are available in the "big" display. I forget which is which, but the one that looks nicer to me is only available at Hobby Lobby in my area. (I THINK that's the Flaming Orange, but I'm not sure.)

mine's Fiery Orange now you have jarred my memory....it's more of a brown sugar, bronze orange, but possibly if I had cleared it or blew some Tamiya pearl clear over it, that might have changed it totally. next time.......lol........the Ace....

Interior pic. I've painted if a bunch of different color combinations. But have decided to go with black and orange

Ok, Messing with this one for a bit between games. Decided to see how a 2 tone dash would look.

 

Opinions , Yes , No,  Maybe ?  Steering wheel will be detailed with silvers spokes and I'll do the embossing powder trick for carpet

Already decided I didn't like all orange. and doubt I'll like all black . Handle for the pass side cove will be done with bare metal foil

I like it! I was going to suggest doing the steering wheel spokes but I see you're gonna cover that.
