Another Super 7

[cobraman]

You must have the patience of a saint !

After a couple more hours of filing (than I expected), it is just about ready for paint… I see a couple spots in the picture that could use some minor attention.

[Scale-Master]

After added the mounting lugs to the grille, I double-side taped it into the nose just to see how it looked… The lugs are drilled for screws or bolts.

Mark, absolutely lovely!!!!!! you have an outstanding eye for the Smallest of details. totally BLOWN AWAY!!!! Shaun.s

[Mooneyzs]

Mark... You are killing this build. I love what you did with the grille, it looks very nice. You are leaving no detail untouched. Keep up the great work.

Hey, Mark. This may be the most epic project to appear on this forum, but the vast majority of your images on this thread have gone away. Can't you upgrade your image hosting account?

[Scale-Master]

I started using two host accounts when I noticed the traffic the first one was getting.

When those images go away, they will always return on the 20th of any given month.

I noticed this month the bandwidth for that account was exceeded in barely a week.

I installed the carbs and intake manifold assembly to the head and temporarily bolted the engine into the frame so I could fine tune the fit of the carbs through the hood.

As expected, some filing and reshaping of the hole was needed…

Sooo ... how does she sound at idle? That is beautiful work, Mark.

[Scale-Master]

Sounds a little like this:

Link doesn't work.

[Scale-Master]

Don't know what to tell you Harry. It works when I click on the link from here, and I'm not even on the same computer I posted it with.

[Pete J.]

Same here, but that sounds more like your corvette.

[Scale-Master]

It's actually the older Camaro. The Corvette is a whisper compared to it.

[Pete J.]

Ah, I should have picked up the blue color.

[Scale-Master]

Finally I can answer the question (at least part of it) that I have been asked so many times over the last couple months. What color will it be? (The white is just the base undercoat.)

[Harry P.]

Don't know what to tell you Harry. It works when I click on the link from here, and I'm not even on the same computer I posted it with.

It works now.

Weird.

[Scale-Master]

Now with even more yellow!

[Nacho Z]

So what do I notice first? That beautiful panel line in the first pic. Then in the second pic the panel is open. Precision!

[Scale-Master]

Very kind of you to say John, thanks!

Lower side panels are being painted. More test fitting before final coats of yellow are added to the rear body and cowl…

[lanesteele240]

Well the paint is as flawless as the rest. And to think, Just a few years ago this was just a few hunks of styrene copper and resin. Way to go. I hope you get to wright a coffee table book on how you made it. It will sell one copy at least ?

And one more wow for the wow pile

Thanks for sharing this with us

[Scale-Master]

Thanks a lot Gary.

The side panels have the base color coat done. Still need to clear coat them before adding the mounting hardware, (that I also still need to make…).

[Scale-Master]

I color sanded the earlier paint and shot the final coats of yellow last night. I’m much happier with the finish now.

Also shot the matte clear on the lower side panels and added the mounting hardware.

Beautiful looking finish.

[Scale-Master]

I installed the sway bar and the stabilizer links including the bushings, washers and lock nuts.
