MrObsessive Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 I was model searching in my basement this morning when I came across a thick folder of pics I thought were lost. These were pics of my '57 Corvette buildup from the very beginning right up to the end as you see my smiling mug in one pic after the Toledo show in 2002. IIRC the build started around October of '01-----and the pics were taken by Norm Veber and Mike Cole of the MAMA and CPMCC clubs. I didn't get a digital camera 'til around the middle of '04. Some of the scans are a little blurry, and I didn't want to change the contrast lest some get a little too pixelized. Here's a sample of a few............ There's no descriptions as the 45 or so pics were scanned, and I couldn't remember all that I did that long ago anyway! You can click here to get to the Fotki page where they are, and click on the "Get Original Uploaded Photo" to get the BIG picture. Enjoy!
george 53 Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 ######,kiddo, you sure gots some BIG hands! It's nice to see some pics of the Vette during it's formative years. I personally thought it was the epitome of your work till I saw the Daytona,and the Impala,and the.........Well you know what I mean, They're ALL winners in my book! Glad you found the pics to help you re-live the frustration of when things din't go "just right!" It's lookin good even in it's unfinished state!
CAL Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 I know you hire micro elves for your workshop... just amazing.
novadose71 Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 Your a madman Bill. Your builds always amaze me.....and everyone else too. Keep em comin.
Jello Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 Bill, Anytime I see your name whether in a magazine or model car forum, I can expect to see some really exceptional model car work! You really outdid yourself on that '58 Impala and its just so happens that I love '58 Impalas and owned 2 myself. The Corvette just shows how good you are and as far as I'am concerned, the Best! I can see where you got that Mr Obsessive name! Thanks for sharing it with us and keep up with the awesome model car skills! ~ Jeff
