Hedgehog Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 Ohhh time runs slow when it comes to building but it's worth the waiting. Tic-tac-tic-tac the clock is running and we're waiting for more updates on this marvellous creation.
deja-view Posted May 8, 2012 Posted May 8, 2012 LOL! Actually, all that progress in 3 months deserves a medal in my build arena. You're like a rocket ship that dropped it's boosters and is just getting into orbit. It would be fun to meet up at a show sometime and put my "old school" mild custom next to your more modern "extreme" version. The Cord is a car just begging for customizing, but most people don't give it much thought....I guess because it's so great looking as a true classic car already.
Ira Posted May 9, 2012 Author Posted May 9, 2012 WORKIN' The FENDERS!!! I cut sheet plastic to fit the rear-bottoms of the Fenders... Then I glued the plastic on to the Fenders and Sanded the edges smooth. Next... The Stinger!!!
Hedgehog Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 Mmmmmm impressive how this is coming along. This beauty leaves anyone who looks at it speechless.

Thanks Ken, I will bring the CordVette along with me next year to NNL West 2013, hope to see you & your Cord there!

Ira Posted May 10, 2012 Author Posted May 10, 2012 ADDING The STINGER!!! I wanted to bring the Rear of the Body to a Point, so I cut a triangular piece of sheet plastic to size. Next I cut 2 grooves in the edge for the Wire. Then I cut 2 1/4" lengths of Brass Wire and glued them in the grooves. Next I flat-sanded the rear tip of the body & drilled 2 holes for the Brass Wire. I used Zap-A-Gap Green Label Glue to attach the Stinger in place. Foam File Boards and a little putty were used to blend the Body & Stinger together. That's the Shape I was looking for....
