I'm not a big fan of the Corvette, but I do admire the engineering and some of the designs. In all, I always admire great engineering and design of all vehicles (even if it's not a Mustang). The one style I did like allot was the 60's Sting Ray body style. Was not sure at the time of building the model on what color to paint it, then I decided on trying the metallic baby blue with a red stripe to match the red interior. I think it came out pretty nice. The custom California plate has my nephews name. He LOVES Corvettes.

:lol: I won't hold that against you. Chevy did make the 1967-68-69 Camaro's that I do like. Also the 1970 Chevelle's. B) I may be a Ford guy, but a true Automotive Lover would admire all kind of makes and models and I consider myself an Automotive Lover. It's a good thing to like one make or model better then the rest. ;)

Sweet Vette, one small criticizm, you missed the mold lines just outside athe tail lights above and below the rear bumpers. Nice color combo!

Yup, you're correct.

When I painted this body (about 2 years ago), I put it back in the box and didn't go back to finish it until early this year. Back on those days I was just getting back into building models and didn't prep the models prior to painting them. The paint looked so nice that didn't want to re-do the paint. But now I've learned and know better. I'm still learning new things. That's what I LOVE about building models. :lol:

Okay so I do preffer a Chevy to a Ford, but that doesn't mean that there aren't any Fords I do like, Ford Galaxie happens to be on of my favorites and you have built that specific one for your dad that was My favorite year for that car, I also am a fan of Ferrari's, Dodge Mopar's, A few of the Mercury models, and a few Buick models, oh and I can't forget the Oldsmobile I like a few of those older models too. And much like you, I do enjoy good Engineering, and Style. I just wanted to point that out as well :lol: .
