WIP: 2004 Corvette Pro Mod

[Jurva]

I really like drag cars. I dont like to build rally cars allthought i like that sport alot. I like the way you build your car. Mean looking machine. Maybe i should try to build turboed (maybe rb26dett since i have copies of it) drag car. Lots of wiring to add. That part scares me.

DAMN This is kick ass so far !!!!!

well, I got word from Chris at TEM yesterday. My body will be in the mail either today or the first part of next week. Meaning that I'll get started back on this full force by next thursday hopefully. This has got to be THE highlight of my modeling career. From the shot he sent me, and the one I'm going to attach. It looks AWESOME. Look for some major updates on this thing in coming days! Also the body, to the best of my knowledge is currently available for order!

Nice job, looking forward to seeing this one done! Based on the Mustang bodies I go from TEM the resin casting of your body should be first rate. I assume this will be joining TEM's line up for sale?

[white97ex]

yes, it hasn't made it onto the website but this body is now available.

Wow! that's what i call detail! The engine looks awesome

[white97ex]

no pictures, just a verbal right now. I got my bodies in today. I need to work on the wing area, as well as adjust the body here and there....and the rear suspension. I will hopefully have pictures up no later than thursday, I've got to reload my camera software. STAY TUNED!!!!

well, the time has finally come. I more than likely painted it pre-maturely. but what the heck. this is stage one of the paint. the bottom half is duplicolor gray primer. the top is duplicolor white with PPG sunset orange metallic laid on top of it. topped off with cobra colors clear coat. let me know what you think!!!

[white97ex]

a sneak peek on the paint stage 2.

[drnitrus]

looks awesome man. Damn i was thinking of going the same route with the paint detail.

[JTRACING]

looking cool!!

[white97ex]

well, you can count this one out of the contest. I just dropped it. I bumped a wall transporting it from the kitchen to my modelling room........the rest is history. the motor came out, one of the headers broke off. all of my intercooler piping broke off, one of the rear shocks disentigrated, the whole front suspension is gone. So, I'm going to start over. The chassis didn't fit the body very well anymore anyhow, and the intake was too tall for the front clip to clear. With me just starting back to class, it looks like this will be an even longer road than I had anticipated. But I will take what I learned from doing what I had up to this point, and improve on it.

oh wow, RATS! thats too bad, was really looking forward to this being done and finally your body came in after all this time. but i like your attitude and how ever you salvage this project will surely be something great.

[white97ex]

well, I wanted to redo the frame anyway. This way it will be perfect. and I can fix all of the little things that were wrong.
