Re: ’98 Corvette

The last of the decals were applied and then it was cleared.



Shot my Camaro replica at the same time…

Re: ’98 Corvette

Amazing work! Your decals look great, how'd you make them metallic?

Re: ’98 Corvette

this is looking great. I actually prefer the C5 over the C6 or C7

Re: ’98 Corvette

I painted most of the black trim, so far all by hand brushing. I’ll probably spray the A-pillars…

Re: ’98 Corvette

The glass is in. The windshield fit fine, but the rear glass was apparently warped since it was too wide at the front edge to fit. I have built a few of these kits and this is the only one I had this issue with, and it was a sealed kit when I started it.
To make it fit I put it in a bar clamp to bring the edges in and hit it with a hair dryer, then let it set overnight. It fit just fine then.

The lights are also installed. The rear side marker lights protrude a bit, but the others fit well.

Re: ’98 Corvette

I can't believe that you painted those window trims freehand! Nice job, it's going to turn out awesome.

Re: ’98 Corvette

I made the underhood light with a big drop of the unmixed part of the top of a bottle of white paint.

My car has fake C/F on the little triangular parts in front of the windows, so I used “real” C/F decals.

Re: ’98 Corvette

I made valve stems for the wheels and painted the caps blue like the real car.
