Hello, Bodywork done. The convertible is ready for final primer and color. This convertible is pretty much a box stock build, or as close as I can get.   Thanks, Ismael |

Hello, Wrapping up both of these builds for a public reveal on Dec 1st. In the meantime, let's catch up on some more progress pics. Will do several posts to catch up. I need to post these in other forums as well, but I have been quite busy. I hope to do that shortly. The Autocross/Time Attack Racing Coupe wire and plastic rod       Masking tape, solder wire, leftover photoetch latches     Thanks, Ismael |

Thanks Ben! Long story short, here is the interior of the '90 convertible: Contender for the worst kit ever...  Thanks, Ismael |

Well, if it’s the worst kit ever you’re sure elevating it nicely. Great work on these Corvettes, as usual.

Hello, On the '90 convertible: The engine is almost wasted as the hood is glued in place. This model fits so bad there was no way to make it open AND fit and the same time. Glued shut it is, and it is now part of the structure itself to control warping. Did I mention this is the worst kit ever?  Reworked the exhaust tips with tubing, replacing the solid blobs in the kit.    Thanks, Ismael |

Hello, Since both are finished (I'll show them on Dec 1st) I still had time to attempt a third one. So, with about 4 weeks to go...    Non-factory color. Curbside, snap and non factory stock. The only way I can attempt a 4 week build.  Thanks, Ismael |

Hello, Non-stock means whatever comes out I'll say was the intention       Trust me, for a Factory Stock OCD builder like me, this is very hard.  Thanks, Ismael |
