Holy Smokes Rickard...I am with Wayne and Tyrone. Very Impressive. the detail is just amazing. This is going to be one heck of a build and looking forward to it.

Oh yeah, one of the most awesome P/M bodies I've seen. This one has class, your chassis looks great and your detail is coming along fantastic. Love this one. I'm pulling for you!!

If the rest of this build come out anything like the body, chassis and tranny, this one will be a winner. Its outta da park!! Like the others have said, I'll be following this one closely.

Your Chevy II P/M was a fantastic project and this Vette is following in it's footsteps. The thing is, this is even cooler because of your custom body master. It looks out of this world so far, Rickard!

Rickard,

I've got a couple questions for you regarding your mold and resin. It looks like you've got a single injection point in the center of the roof, with vents at each end. Assuming I'm correct in that observation, do you have any particular trouble with trapping air anywhere? My second question: what brand of resin did you use to cast your bodies and what kind of cure time is it? Thanks... Scott

Thanks for posting these pictures. I've wondered why my attempts to use a dremel as a lathe turned out so poorly. I didn't use a stable base or the right type of cutting tool. Now, I'm anxious to try it again.

Rickard, so I have to ask what are you using to turn the styrene down? It looks like they are Xacto blades that are broken off or are you suing something different? What are you using to make the concave section of the Mag towards the bottom?
