My friend gave me a c5r last two weeks.

I found the picture like this, and say " I WANT DO THAT!"

So i cut the body last week, before i cut the body, I build the doorsill first. because if I cut the body first, the top will apart. if i want to paste that with doorsill, that is impassable.

i cut 3 holes on the engine cover.

i use the pop-top to make blades.

My thoughts also;)

Great model!!!

Here are some pics of the car that I have found. Corvette C5-R (http://www.dotphoto.com/go.asp?l=Profesorn&AID=768960)
Some of the pics have been resized so if you want them in a bigger version tell me and I can see if I got it.

Can't wait to see this one done.

How in the world did you make the blades?

Thank you very much! :D

Very nice. That C5-R will probably be my next model. Here is a site that should have some more C5-R pics http://www.imsaracing.net/imsaNS.cfm?h=/2003/photos/header.htm&p=/2003/photos/indexnew.htm

I'll look through some CD's tonight at home. I'm one of the Art Directors for the 12 hrs of Sebring program. I'm sure I can dig up a couple of good pics.

You can also look here http://www.johnnyoconnell.com/

and here http://www.andypilgrim.com

and one more here http://www.ronfellows.com/

How did you make the blades on the kit ?

http://www.c5rmotorsports.com/

that should help...

do a search in yahoo for corvette c5-r

Is a "pop top" a beer or soda can?
I'd like to know how you did the hood louvers.

Magnificent work!! :eek:

The way the kit should've come from the factory (though at $12 who's complaining ;) )

It's a luscious build. Keep at it.

Superb work!

I fancy doing that kit myself and i don't even like vettes!!!

Awesome work dude!:D

Can't wait to see it finished. I like the vents on the hood, nice use of soda cans!

James

thanks guys!!
be4 i post on this forum, i had ever serch in google. the c5r is more than 11,000 pages. omg! when i visit about 500, i give up. most of the pages were 1/18 model cars shop page. so....... i'm here!
i use the soda can. the point is aluminium soda cans (softer can)! i will post some pictures about the blades! i used the soda cans to build my f-40 cooler tank, it look good. everybody can try it!

WOW that is looking great!!!

:eek: We will have to meet some time so you can teach me your tricks. ;)

This is the only engine reference pic I have.

I'll try attaching a zip file of all my pics of the #63 Vette.

That's a no-go, but if you have anything you want a reference of, I have 20 pics of this gorgeous car.

Wow! very impressive project. I'm having lots of fun! :jumpie:

WOW dude, you're amazing!!!:eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2: :eek2:

Well, I couldn't find any of my photos. Must have left the CD at my friends house. I did find this photo though. It's the actual windshield from the #4 Vette that raced at Sebring (and that's my livingroom it's sitting in :eek: ).

Well...After the race me, my dad, and a friend went over to the Corvette trailers because Johnny O'Connell told us that they were giving some stuff away at the trailers. When we get there, there are a couple of drivers hanging out and a few people here and there. As were standing there I notice this windshield laying on the back fense next to some trash. After asking a few people about it, we came to Rick. We asked if they were throwing it out since it looked cracked. He said just take it and if anybody said anything that Rick told us to take it. It ended up not being cracked at all, but it was just a rubber mark from the rollcage. It unfortunately did get cracked on the way home, but it's obvously still in one piece. I can't wait for Sebring 2004 and Le Mans isn't even here yet.

Oh, by the way, the vette your working on is coming out great. I can't wait to get my hand on one of those kits.

This part is my first time to paint in finished body. How to say that! If I finish the pant job first, then compose this part. It must has a crevice over there. So I have to paint the chassis first. Compose the part on chassis. And do some putty. Then paint wite Mr. surfacer, yellow, paste decals, clear paint, sandpaper, compound. finally, I finish this part. Oh No! I did not paint the lights. hahaha!!!!! I love this model more and more! I plan to finish this modify model job after 3 weeks later.

Kinda hard to understand your english buy WOW the pictures speak for them selves!!! Awesome looking project so far! Looks like this is going to look VERY nice!! keep us posted.

I use the aluminium stick to rebuit the exhaust, and polish the exhaust.

[drops dead]


WOW!

This certainly motivated me to continue building my C5R, I removed the front coil but I've stopped after that.

But the sad thing is that after so much work, this kit will end up looking slightly better than your average Tamiya kit.

But it's the only C5R available and it's a great car for my Le Mans collection.

My dear god! That's brilliant work! This is becoming more and more gorgeous by the post. Keep at it!

you will find several references pictures there.

Awesome. I'm lovin' this build. I'll follow closely. I especially like the exhaust... what a great job. I'd really like to know how you got all the bends to work out?? Do you have a system??

Murray

I agree, it looks very, very realistic, I love every single bit about it!
Keep the updates coming along, master !

Olivier

Almost finish engine bay! :D :D

Aluminum is very soft. So I made a simple tool.

Those details certainly add a little extra to the model (not that your model doesn't have enough "extra" anyway ;))
