bobthehobbyguy Posted May 26, 2012 Posted May 26, 2012 Ira, How about a blue pearl or metallic? Maybe stripes like the grandsport corvette. bobthehobbyguy
Ira Posted May 26, 2012 Author Posted May 26, 2012 X2 on the Red, perhaps a deep Candy Red Trust me, that paint looks incredible in person! Always liked Candy Red...
Ira Posted May 26, 2012 Author Posted May 26, 2012 Nahhhhh... Didja ever see the movie "Corvette Summer"? You don't wanna go there. Don't want to be too bold because the car is already bold enough. Ordinarily I'd love a burnt cinnamon metallic or orange pearl, but I'm not so sure on this car. You can combine classic Cord colors with Classic Corvette colors: Silver and Marlboro Maroon, maybe. Maybe black and silver or black and green? Thanks for your suggestions Ken!
Ira Posted May 27, 2012 Author Posted May 27, 2012 Was not sure about this one at first, but the more you do the more I like. Awesome work is an understatement. Thanks for the kind words John!
Ira Posted May 27, 2012 Author Posted May 27, 2012 FANTASTIC!! this is gonnna be so cool when its done........what am i sayin? its cool now!! keep it goin bryan Thanks Bryan! Glad you Like it!
Ira Posted May 28, 2012 Author Posted May 28, 2012 (edited) It's looking good! I like how you're fine-tuning the body with the small filler panels and such. I like the vent placement and the split Cord Windshield will look awesome! Thanks Chris, Glad you like it ! Edited May 28, 2012 by Ira
Ira Posted June 2, 2012 Author Posted June 2, 2012 Ira, Glad to hear that you are using the cord windshield. I think it fits the lines of the corvette. Looking forward to seeing more progress on this one. bobthehobbyguy Thanks Bob!
Hedgehog Posted June 2, 2012 Posted June 2, 2012 Wow wow wow we're anxious waiting for more of this one of a kind creation. Keep up the great job

cobraman Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 Just wondering............. do you ever build anything stock ?
Psychographic Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 Just wondering............. do you ever build anything stock ? What fun is that?
deja-view Posted June 3, 2012 Posted June 3, 2012 Always liked Candy Red... Now there's a thought. When I was about 13-14 or so a friend of mine inspred me to enter one of my cars into the Revell National contest. I won my class (regionals) with a highly detailed version of the STW Willys Drag machine. He entered in the custom class and won. Mine was detailed in a way most weren't back then (circa 1964), but his had a candy red paint on it that put mine to shame. It was deep and gorgeous. But a really good candy paint on a model is hard to do...as I later found out..because it has to be even all the way through and in every corner and cranny. Your Cordvette would be phenomenol (sp?) in a candy red. Just plain phenomenol (again, sp?)!
Ira Posted June 11, 2012 Author Posted June 11, 2012 Wow wow wow we're anxious waiting for more of this one of a kind creation. Keep up the great job Thanks Wilbert! Now that the CAR-TOONS CONTEST is Finished I can get back to the CordVette!
Ira Posted June 12, 2012 Author Posted June 12, 2012 Just wondering............. do you ever build anything stock ? No...do you?
Ira Posted June 13, 2012 Author Posted June 13, 2012 NOSE JOB!!! I Extended the Underside of the Nose with Strip Plastic... I also Smoothed out the Fender Support Areas!
Ira Posted June 13, 2012 Author Posted June 13, 2012 WHERE'S THE ENGINE??? The Original Plan was to put a Spare Tire in the Rear Window Area, that looked OK.... Then I thought about an Engine for the CordVette...Time to use some Ferrari Parts! Like Big 12 Cylinder Engine!!! It's a Lot of Engine, but it Fits in there Just Right! I'm a Happy Guy!
JasonFL Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 Man, you build some cool stuff. That motor is just big and bad, fits right in with the project.
Bartster Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 Ira, that is pure COOL! Love the Italian power plant. Plenty of glass to view it through as well. Excellent choice. Maybe some Ferrari wire wheels to tie it in?
carchub Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 That engine in the back reminded me of the Tucker '48
Models by Bear Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 That engine in the back reminded me of the Tucker '48 i was thinking the same thing. Awesome build
