So After getting a nice rc500 i find myself joining the long line of people with fatter wallets than Me, looking for a nice body.
And as bondo is no short supply i decided to make my own body .
And the wife being outta town for a week means the hobby room has just gained 1000 square feet of room .
This is what i am looking for finished
And this is 10 hrs into the project 15lbs of bondo , a quart of resin and a roll of mesh tape.
ok so it gone from being a 1981 to a 1975 and with that wing gone its now starting to take back that old corvette lines again Tricky part is bringing the rear window back and changing the lines to a hard top ,the pic shows two reinforcing bars that i will mimic in the mold .Giving me a center window to cut out for the engine to keep cool.
so i cut a piece of lexan with the curve i needed and then built the edge up with 3mm glazzing tape so to give me some shaping room
All the while looking at this thread and thinking "Strange Encounters of the 75 Greenwood Vette Kind". Paul, you were off the board for a short spell, were you abducted
Anybody ever come across a green paint that matches up with the option flouro green tub on the rc10 ?.... I checked on testors web site but kinda hard to tell if it would be florescent green or rally green unless i see it in person. Rally green...

No offence here but I would worry about getting the chassis done first then worry about painting the body.

Posted pics of this car a couple of times already but since I'm finally doing something with it I figured I'd give it it's own thread. I bought this car off eBay last year and it turned out the seller was Dave Irrgang of IRS (Irrgang Racing...

Looks great! I know what you mean on the paint. I hate painting.
Thanks.
Too much pressure painting old bodies that aren't easy to replace. :x
I should send them to Andy...Dahm's bodies with an Andy's signature would be pretty neat.

I posted a request in the scan section, but thought I would ask here as well.
I am looking for a link or scan of the ZR-1 electric version.
Not much came up on google, so I thought I would try here.

No reluctancy at all, Jay... Gary pulled one for me recently, and an original Mustang Wedge, as well. Brand spankin' new, and with his current body pricing, too. ;) That Corvette Wedge is one of my all-time favs.

That is going to be killer.
