2005 Corvette C6-R #64

Nice build Stephen.  One question-what did you do to the rims?  I have the same kit in process and I want to 'de-chrome' the rims and get the finish that you have successfully achieved.

Thanks

Thanks for looking in, Bob. I soaked the wheels in Simple Green for a few days (probably a lot longer than needed), then cleaned them off with a soft brush. Then painted them with testor's aluminum. If I had the metalizer non-buffing I would have used it for a smoother finish, but I was out. HTH.

Thanks Stephen.  Hopefully I'll get around to finishing my C6-R sometime soon.

Again, nice build.

No problem Bob, looking forward to seeing yours.

Nice looking 'Vette.

That is a sharp looking vette!

Enemeink,

       Thanks for looking in, the kit is made by Revell.

Nactflieger,

     Appreciate the comment, it was a fun build.

Update, this corvette won second place in the auto competition division at the ASMS show back on the 9th of Oct.

Stephen-congratulations on your award-well deserved....again, very nice job on your C6-R.

Bob, thanks for checking back in. Ironically the car that took first place was the same kit, but done in the ALMS livery as white #4. The guy did a nice job and had a lot of details that I overlooked.
