Apparantly the GT90 is at this years Goodwood Festival of Speed in England, running the next 3 days. So if anyone here is going to that please get me shots (if it is there that is).

some pics finally
fine tuned door closing positions and working on blending rear guards to arch to triangles and sills
slow going during this stage chasing line flow from rear guards through doors to front

lunatics
you still have a fair bit to go yourself, should be a looker when finished.

Saved and found loads of GT90 pictures, will all be on my site soon enough!

This one I had to post early though, I had no idea about this...

Seems the guys involved in the project signed a plaque which is just underneath the exhaust cluster on the rear. I always wondered what that little wierd sticker was on my Maisto model there, thought it was just a bad sticker.

Hi Des,

I've been following your build from the beginning, and have to say that that it has been great to watch your progress, and i'm really looking forward to your finished prototype in the future.

Keep the pictures coming......

Ciao

Yes some pics
It seems many many hours go in and no visible change comes out and then it just looks right.....
thanks for putting up with me
sides of rear guards, arches and triangles are finally playing nice and are all on the same plane.
lines are now close to final
I have started on doors and front guards to continue the lines through to front arch.
door to guard edges and gaps coming along as well in process.

Hi there, it is so wonderful to see stuff like these. Please tell me, did you make use of the corvette c5 front a arms. We need the sizes of the pivot points from x and y lines. if it will be possable, thanks. JVB

Des, beautiful work. It's certainly the time consuming part of the project. Keep the photos coming.

Des
Fantastic work there! When you work out the parting lines for the mold try to get them in an easily post finished location. Really an awsome job you've done. I did a Maserati A6G-CS body using the same method. Took me the better part of a year working alone.

jvb
sorry, I did not use the C5 front I am using late C4.
Maybe give a corvette forum a go for the info

craig
yes it sure is, once this pass is done I still need to go over all panels one more time then the top coat.

molleur
one year must have been nice, I am approaching three now with this one.

some pics
doors are almost done and front guards are coming along
lines to front park lights are on track (at least to where they will be)
redid the left fuel filler panel to better fit door edge/surface
(staples are just till glue dries and then it will be puttied in)

Des, in the close up picture you can see all of the different angles that you have created from wood, I am glad that you have chosen this project because of your amazing attention to detail and dedication. I am just as hooked on this project as I was when I first seen it. Great job Des.
