VETTE VENTS!!!

I cut the Vents from the sides of the Corvette with a Dremel Tool.

Next I traced the shape of the vent onto the sides of the CordVette and cut them out with the Dremel Tool and Cutting Wheel.

With a little Carving and Sanding the Vents fit right in!

I Rough Sanded the area with a File Board, then smoothed it down with some 220 Sandpaper.

We Got Vents!!!

This just keeps getting better and better.

Ira,

Glad you are back on this one.

Don't know your plans for the windshield are but I think that a duval style windshield would fit the design..

Keep up the good work.

Blending the Parts...

I Cut and Fit 4 pieces of plastic to Bridge the Gap between the Fenders and the Rear of the CordVette.

Here is another view!

I spread putty over all the rough spots, now for some more Sanding...

Cordvette is looking MARVELOUS, Ira. Keep on sanding.

Any color in mind?There are to many yellow Corvettes,you need to go with a red metal flake.

X2 on the Red, perhaps a deep Candy Red

Trust me, that paint looks incredible in person!

[deja-view]

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?

This just keeps getting better and better.

Thanks Ray!

Thanks for the Encouragement Jim!

Back to Sanding....

[Wagoneer81]

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!

[bobthehobbyguy]

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.
