Project 055 -- 2012 Corvette Coupe

Paul Juliano
Shotgun!

Chris Greathouse
@Paul... Bob may not like you very much hahaha 😛 Figured I could get in 1 more car before the Aussie Group 😛 This build is only black, grey and silver so it should be pretty easy in the 10 days left.

Bob Hall
You'll have that done in 5 days tops ! Not many parts to AMT's "Showroom Replicas" series kits. Cool Beans !

Paul Juliano
Chris, you're a machine. My money's on like three and a half days.

Bob Hall
For Real ! Longest part is going to be waiting for the paint to dry ! LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nathan Dempsey
I'll have started my Aussie truck nearly 2 weeks ahead of Chris and he will finish this and the truck ahead of me. Lol!

Chris Greathouse
I couldn't be twiddling my thumbs for 10 days for the Group Build... I'd go insane... I finished the house chores I needed to. Now lets play with paint and stuff 😄

Danny Meer
Lol Chris, dunno how you do it but i'm still working on my Unimog 😄 getting the red paint for it today in mail together with paint for the aussie truck and the steampunk van.
This Corvette will be an easy build for you after the Papa and Super Boss truck

Chris Greathouse
#2 gotta hop to it and finish!! Aussie day is quickly approaching. I don't really like this car. It's a very blah and simple kit with barely 20 pieces... been a real turn off with that "go get-em" attitude I usually have.

Bob Hall
Yeah, you could consider this a skill level 1.5, just above a snap kit level. That's why I avoid the "Showroom Replicas" series, but we know you'll make it look great !

Paul Juliano
Chris, the simple kits just scream "ADD AFTERMARKET PARTS!!!"

Chris Greathouse
Using a label maker to say VROOM VROOM and putting it in the non-existent engine compartment. Are those the aftermarket parts you're talking about?... 😛

Danny Meer
LOL Chris, that would be the best aftermarket part 😄

Dominik Weitzer
Oha, corvette. Interesting color.
I don't like those "Showroom replicas"...imo, they are to expensive without having an engine.
For the engine you can also print a photo from it and glue it in place :-D

Chris Greathouse
#3 Build time... but I'm not feelin' it.. maybe some bumpin' music will help the build.... loads up Tech N9ne, Kottonmouth Kings, ICP, Cypress Hill... Bass bouncing at 11... This should help finish this project.

Bob Hall
Here Ya Go ! Just every time he say's Red, just turn down the volume and yell Blue in its place ! LOL !

That sounds like a drinking game 😄 Red - SHOT!

Finished! I'm going to wait for photo booth for pictures... Regular lights aren't showing the blue well. Then I'm hoping on the Aussie train 🙂 Much more interesting then this P.O.S. .... Although it turned out well for hating it so much. 😄

Since there's no engine, you just have to think it's a covered treasure in some barn somewhere waiting for its hero to fix 'er up and give 'er go.
