Hello, I think main bodywork is done. First true overall coat of primer to be sanded down to almost nothing checking for imperfections. Thanks, Ismael

Hello, Remember I said body mods were done? Here is a hint: Don't trust me when I say body mods are done... Working the mandated rear tow hook area. Pinned the mirrors. Was it measure once drill twice or the other way around? Actually I measured ad nauseam to ensure symmetry. And modifying the mirrors as per 1:1 Thanks, Ismael

Hello, First law of Ismaeology: Don't go to the next step until the current step is so good the next could be skipped. Man, it looks good in sanded primer! Would be tempted to leave it like that Thanks, Ismael

Ismael, Now that's one great set of rules.
Primer coat does indeed look outstanding.

Ishmael,
Your attention to detail is phenomenal, as is your execution, and while I am usually at a loss for words when it comes to your builds, I can't help but think that when it's all finished....it's just a Corvette.
(Running and dodging as things are being thrown at me)

Hello, After a break of a little over a month, work continued on this. First light coat of Velocity Yellow paint. Still a lot more to come, but a good start. Airbrushing is my favorite part of this hobby. It is so relaxing. Thanks, Ismael

Ismael, It's certainly great to have you back at the bench once again. Paint looks outstanding as usual. While I truly like air brushing, decaling with top quality decals is one of my favorite aspects of modeling.

Thanks Joel! X-posted: The airbrush went on a rogue rampage! Focus on the yellow car Second color coat. By the way, that Velocity yellow is from Cobra Colors. They went out of business in 2006 so that bottle is over 15 years old. Good as day 1! Thanks, Ismael
