WORKIN' The FENDERS!!!  I cut sheet plastic to fit the rear-bottoms of the Fenders...  Then I glued the plastic on to the Fenders and Sanded the edges smooth.  Next... The Stinger!!! |

[glow=red,2,300]ADDING The STINGER!!![/glow] I wanted to bring the rear of the body to a point, so I cut a triangular piece of sheet plastic to size. Next I cut 2 grooves in the edge for the Wire. Then I cut 2 1/4" lengths of Brass Wire and glued them in the grooves.  Next I flat-sanded the rear tip of the body & drilled 2 holes for the Brass Wire.  I used Zap-A-Gap Green Label Glue to attach the Stinger in place.  Foam File Boards and a little putty were used to blend the Body & Stinger together.  That's the Shape I was looking for.... ;D |

[glow=red,2,300]VETTE VENTS!!![/glow] I cut the Vents from the sides of the Corvette with a Dremel Tool.  Next I traced the shape of the vent onto the sides of the CordVette and cut them out with the Dremel Tool and Cutting Wheel.  With a little Carving and Sanding the Vents fit right in!  I Rough Sanded the area with a File Board, then smoothed it down with some 220 Sandpaper. [glow=red,2,300]We Got Vents!!![/glow] |

Imagine seeing this in a real life version, it would be a mind blowing.... and will sure be a very big eye catcher as it drives on the road.

That would be FANTASTIC!!!! ;D ;D ;D Oh heck Ira, you just swap glue for a welder, plastic for metal, razor saws for chop saws and your sprayguns get bigger. Easy Peasy, you'll have it done by next week. Now get to work! ;D |

[glow=red,2,300]Blending the Parts...[/glow] I Cut and Fit 4 pieces of plastic to Bridge the Gap between the Fenders and the Rear of the CordVette.  Here is another view!  I spread putty over all the rough spots, now for some more Sanding... |
