ismaelg Posted April 27, 2022 Share Posted April 27, 2022 Hello my friends! It's been over a year since I've been to the workbench. I've been very busy with work, family, Boy Scouts, camera restorations, etc. While nothing fancy or serious, I just did a quick race car project just for fun. For me 2 weeks is lightning fast as I usually work at glacier pace. Not sure if this is the right place so bear with me. Background: On January 2005, a sinister un-decorated raw carbon fiber race car began testing at Sebring. It was the new for 2005 Corvette C6R, chassis # C6R-001. This car became Ron Fellows and Johnny O’Connell's car #3 in the ALMS series. It won 3 races in the 2005 season: Atlanta, Mid-Ohio and Sonoma. From David Palmeter's awesome website, the best for Corvette Racing reference, here is a picture of that car taken on January 8, 2005 And this is my interpretation: Note the doors are darker than the rear, etc. and . . . . . . . . . . the money shot: This started out as a beaten Hot Wheels (1/64) which was heavily modified including brass scratchbuilt spoiler, front splitter, modified wheels, interior and exterior mods and added details, etc. and a drinking water cooler that I don't think will hold a lot 🙂 Just a fun little project. I hope you like it. Thanks, Ismael 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
