Not as busy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although I didn’t have as much time to work on projects this month, I did finish the ’01 Z06 Corvette. The Porsche 911 and Countach moved forward with plenty of trim painting. Progress on the countach. Even though it is not a significant achievement I finally decided which wheels I’ll use for the ’57 Corvette. Like I said, not a model busy month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2001 Corvette Z06<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now that the hood was done, or at least as done as I was willing to make it, I was able to wrap up the final details on the ’01 Z06 Corvette. I finished installing all of the lenses and windows and then attached the hood. I had hoped to skip adding aluminum tubing for exhaust tips but ended up using them when I botched drilling out the tips. In the end, it looks better with polished exhaust tips!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Porsche 911<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This model seems to receive attention in small bursts. While preparing the Countach for significant amounts of trim and accent paint, I realized the 911 wouldn’t take much more time to do the same. Masked and painted, it went back to the shelf. Finishing the Countach is the priority. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One more step complete before it goes back on the shelf.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Countach<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Having completed the ‘Vette, I latched onto making serious progress on the Countach. The body has several cavities that need to be painted black. I had stressed over this detail and then found that I could do it well by masking over the edge and spraying under the edge of the tape. Once all the detail work was complete, I nearly completed the build. Next month…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
The body, the doors, the engine cover, all were painted this way with great success!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
All of the details have been painted. Time to start assembly.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
I used the same trick for the indicator pockets. To tone down the pockets, I sprayed light gunmetal rather than silver. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
As with every project, once the detail work is complete, assembly goes quickly. At this point, I realized the front splitter needed grinding to fit properly and then fresh color and clear.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Other Projects<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Not as exciting to discuss: I picked which wheels I was going to use on my rescue 57 Corvette. The kit had everything but the tires and white wall inserts. I was going to do something with the original wheels but finally landed on the C4 Vette wheels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
I like it!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
I would use these wheels, from the C5 Z06 on many projects if I had spares!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Small but good progress.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

July packs a much bigger punch! Stay tuned!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
