Well, our many comments about the previous project resembling a Corvette "inspired" James to take a new direction with his next project. First photos below, more to come! "C3 Corvette Grandsport"

Machining the "steam roller" wheels. There are no aftermarket wheels for models like this.

Coming right out of the side where the vents used to be?

James added a comment for this photo:

"Painted pieces in a de-hydrator. About as exciting as watching paint dry." :-)

That is a beauty!!! Much better then I anticipated.

I love the wheels.

Your exhaust pipes are dragging! Just being a wise guy...I see it's a dry fit.

This model would look nice with a matt finish James, or a combination of matt and gloss.

I like those wheels too, they look like American Racing Torque Thrust wheels, but much deeper dish of course.
