Corvette C6 Z06 Black Devil

[David Thibodeau]

Here is the inspiration:

The P&M C6RS in black. I will not be doing any body mods.... Just following the color combination.

The wheels on the C6RS are BBS with a "Metalite" coating. It has the look of black chrome.

To simulate this, the wheels were stripped, shot with TS-14 black and given a dusting of alclad chrome.

Jumping ahead to mock up shots... I detailed and installed the brakes and added red hash marks seen on Grand sports and C6-Rs..... I hope I can get this stance!! I will be adding lots of CF to the car as well..... Paint is Tamiya Grey primer, TS-14 Black and dupont 2k clear

Love it, Love it, Love it, Love it, LOVE IT!

I was looking at that car and started documenting the changes needed. Maybe some day....

Yours is looking killer already!

Thanks,

Gotta love Pratt and Miller.

Thanks guys.... interior is done!

Tamiya acrylics, CF, and some stock seatbelts finished it off. I was going to use flocking... but it wont be seen!

Here is why I did not flock the interior. I did all the glass and used tamiya smoke on the rear window. Just 2 light coats and its dark! These pics give you an idea of the red and black and how nice they blend.......

Thanks guys....

I tinted the covers but it is not that noticeable over black.... >

I also made an extended splitter covered in CF and clear Only needs fog light lenses and housings and the front end is done!

Rear tails and third brake light are in....

I also painted the floor pan chassis and added CF to the rear valance. The airbox is all CF and I painted the intake, and valve covers bright red and all of it was cleared.....

A few more mock ups.... One mean Z!!!!!
