Ira, this build is a-rockin'. You must be drooling over it and what color you will paint it in.

[Ira]

What color did you decidwe to paint the Cordvette? Looking forward to seeing this in paint.

I think I will be painting the CordVette a Combination of Testors Revving Red & Blazing Black, with some Candy Apple Red for Blending the 2 Colors together.

Thanks...

FILLIN' IN THE FENDERS...

The Cord Fender Openings are too big for the Modern Corvette Tires, so I decided to reduce the wheel well sizes

I added a filler piece to the Rear Fenders, it's about 1/4" wide, and then I trimmed the underside of the Fenders as shown.

I cut out a filler piece of sheet plastic about 1/8" wide for the Front Fenders.

Good call on modifing the wheel wells. I think that will look better.

READY FOR PAINT!!!

The Roof Trim goes from the Cord Windshield to the Corvette Tail. It was made with half-round plastic strip, with the ends filed to points, and then glued in place.

Mirrors are from the Corvette Kit.

I added a strip of plastic along the front edge of the Rear Fenders to bring the edge down to the bottom of the body.

With a little more putty and sanding I finally have the Rear Fenders Finished!

Finished up these last few bits of body work and now it's Time For PAINT!!!

Looking good, Ira. I'm interested in the glue you used for the center strip. I thought there was primer there before the strip and am just wondering.
