Hi all well ive cut the doors out and got some piano wire, so it looks like its going to have working doors (gulp) been downloading pics of the engine but they all serm to show one side or the have a mahoosive air filter on so i cant see where some pipes go so ive been guessing.
Still no internet or phone and weve been informed it may be another fortnight(got to get permisdion to shut the road, so on and so forth) anyway will post pics when i can, dont know when thats likely to be.

Hi all well Internet is back on so you can now have regular update . Here is the next one.

Hi all another update, got some primer on (its halfords plastic primer) Ive used it loads of times and never had this reaction before

It's on both the doors (which were part of the body till I cut them out, so all the same plastic and yet the car body seems unaffected

Seems strange will strip the doors and re spray them, hopefully that will correct it.

That's an insane chunk of plastic!

Have fun, mate! Looks good, so far! :)

Hi all here is the next update, tried black but don't like it so will have to think on that one.

Hi all I think I'm going blue, here is another update

elmayerle · « **Reply #8 on:** January 19, 2017, 06:13:56 AM »

that's a very nice shade for a Corvette and I think it looks smashing. I'm quite enjoying your build here.

Hi all hinges made, we now have working doors.

Some people are too smart for my own good!

Hi all well i know it's not normal but I couldn't resist.

elmayerle · « **Reply #12 on:** January 23, 2017, 03:44:35 AM »

Mild custom touch with the gull wing doors would be very good and cool. It looks like you could easily pull it off, too.

kpnuts · « **Reply #13 on:** January 23, 2017, 04:10:04 AM »

That is them done

Hi all tried out some more of my home made foil.

Old Wombat · « **Reply #15 on:** February 01, 2017, 06:43:26 PM »

Looks good! :)

Hi all here is the next update.

Sure are digging down to that 1/8 detail. Realistic 1/1 appearance. :)

Hi all the dash turned out OK so I thought how can i make it better then I thought I know ignition keys might help

Amazing work

Hi all, here is what you get for the coil springs in this kit,

after hunting through my springs collection I found these

I'm a bit disappointed they don't show up more

kpnuts · « **Reply #23 on:** February 19, 2017, 04:42:45 AM »

Here is another update on this one.
I'm wondering (since I've made it gull wing) should I do away with the door handles move them further down or turn them sideways.

kpnuts · « **Reply #24 on:** February 22, 2017, 04:33:10 AM »

Hi all been adding some detail from all the reference pics I've got they all show this with servo assisted breaks, this is what the kit supplies

So I acquired this off my missus favorite tipple (she is Scottish)

After a little sanding and a crease in the right place

I've no idea where a lot of these pipes go as I've not got enough ref pics so I've guesstimated
