Darin Bastedo Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 This was just a quick build to have something ready for the Bay's Mountain show today. It has Cobra Colors Fiji Blue paint, and the only modifications I made was opening the side vents, scratch-built side pipe covers, lowering it and adding the Model car Garage Photo-etched set.
vizio93 Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 Nice job on the Vette', those subtle changes you made to it really sets it off !!! Hope it wins today !!!
Darin Bastedo Posted July 17, 2010 Author Posted July 17, 2010 (edited) I have returned from the show, and the Corvette came in Second in automotive. I was quite surprise as there were several cars there that I thought were much better. Edited July 18, 2010 by Darin Bastedo
my80malibu Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 Very Sweet Ride, nice color too. Is Cobra Colors still in business?
bsoder Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 Great looking 'Vette...very cool on placing second :D
Sixties Sam Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 Very nice Vette! The 63 to 67's are my favorite style. The color is great, and I like the side pipes and vents. Good job! Sam
W-409 Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 Good looking Corvette! I have '67 Roadster too and now lots of more inspiration. Your paintjob looks great, good details on the interior and specially I like that 427 Turbo Jet- badge on the front fender. Perfect choice for wheels and tires you did!
Darin Bastedo Posted July 18, 2010 Author Posted July 18, 2010 Very Sweet Ride, nice color too. Is Cobra Colors still in business? Thanks, I had fun building this one. As for Cobra colors I'm afraid that Leon Closed up shop a few years ago. Hopefully he'll come back as his stuff was top notch. If you want to replicate this color though, I didn't realise until I took this picture that ford has almost the same color available as you can see on my brother's 2009 Ford Ranger. I bet you can get the touch up paint from the parts dept.
Harry P. Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 Actually that color looks very close to the current Ford Mustang "Vista Blue"...
sjordan2 Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 Stingray Roaster? Any tips on seasoning and basting? Beautiful build, by the way.
Harry P. Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 Stingray Roaster? Any tips on seasoning and basting? Obviously a typo. He meant Stingray fryer...
Jeff Sauber Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 Stingray Roaster? Any tips on seasoning and basting? Beautiful build, by the way. I'm not sure how to season it, but you can actually order roasted stingray at some seafood places...I'd probably try it, but it looks a bit rubbery....Who knows.
Zoom Zoom Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 Nice work, congrats with the award. Now people are trading barbs over exotic cuisine here?
Jeff Sauber Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 "He said 'barbs'" I'm not sure if this is true, but I heard they are supposed to be making 30 new episodes of that show..I'm assuming it'll be shown on MTV..?
Jeff Sauber Posted July 18, 2010 Posted July 18, 2010 (edited) Mike is....with or without MTV. The original shows were hilarious...It'll be interesting if they can re-capture the same feel and comedy the second time around. Sometimes remakes just don't do as well, but we'll see if things pan out. Might be fun to watch. I liked the King of the Hill stuff...."Hank Hill" was actually a spin off character from "Mr Anderson" on the B&B show. hank hill... tom anderson Edited July 18, 2010 by J. Sauber
Jeff Sauber Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 Nice work, congrats with the award. Now people are trading barbs over exotic cuisine here? I'm not sure about "trading" Barbs, but you can "purchase" Barbs at most well stocked aquarium centers/tropical fish stores. [some places may accept trades however if the fish are in good and healthy condition. You'll need to check with your local retailers to be sure however..] Theres several kinds of popular Barbs for instance, tiger barbs green tiger barbs And the common tin foil barbs.. I'm not sure they would be much use to you as far as exotic cuisine goes...They are rather small and likely wouldn't be very flavorful. They are primarily used in tropical aquariums, not cooking.
Dragline Posted July 19, 2010 Posted July 19, 2010 Beautiful Stingray there. Those MCG PE sets are a dream eh? Bob
Darin Bastedo Posted July 19, 2010 Author Posted July 19, 2010 Beautiful Stingray there. Those MCG PE sets are a dream eh? Bob Yeah I love them it really made the difference in th elook of the car.
Peter Lombardo Posted July 21, 2010 Posted July 21, 2010 Darin, beautiful work as usual....very clean.....I am not sure how this ended up on the Food Network, but it is a great looking Corvette.
