The rear wheel wells get a carbon fiber treatment. Here, the carbon fiber wheel wells are displayed with the air ducts, which are also carbon fiber, dry fitted into place. There is a kit supplied wire mesh that gets cut to a template shape then glued to the intake of the air ducts. The wire mesh is used in numerous places throughout the build as you will see later.

Looking better and better at every step of the way Craig.

 

This last summer I was driving over a local mountain pass that has a lot of twisty corners and I always like to day dream that I am driving Nurburgring when I am driving my Mini. It's not the fastest car in town but it corners like all get out with it's JCW suspension. No fun on rough roads but a dream in the mountains. Anyway I found myself catching up on a yellow with black trim low slung car that at first I did not recognize. I was a beauty! As I got closer I realized it was a Corvette C7 done in the same color scheme you have here. I think that after looking at one on the road, it has to be possibly one of the most beautiful Corvettes of all time.

 

I ended up slowly overtaking him and eventually passing him over an almost fifteen minute time frame. I almost hated to pass him because of the view, but on the down hill section of the pass where the road becomes even twister and even more fun in my Mini, I didn't want to be stuck behind him on what would at that point be one lane each way, and he was tending to drive a little slower than I was. So I reluctantly bid him a fond farewell and went back to my Nurburgring daydream. 

 

It may be a long time before I get to do that ride again, as I seldom get to go long distances with my Mini, (My wife does not like riding in it as it is so low, and rides a bit rough with the JCW suspension. Wonder what she would think of a C6 or 7?) and the roads will possibly never again be a clear of cars in the good weather seasons as they were this last spring and summer in the early parts of COVID.

I love Vettes, but the low suspension is bad news for creaky legs and back anymore. :( So I can dream and look at these great car builds.:D

That's odd. My Mini is by far the lowest car I own, both to the ground and at the seats. But for some reason it is also the easiest for me to get in and out of with my back and leg issues. They made the ground clearance and therefore the overall height higher in the 2006 and newer models and while I think they wrecked everything by doing so, my wife says they are much nicer to get in and out of and have a softer ride. I will probably never even get to sit in a Corvette so I can't answer for that.

Beautiful car, beautiful model....

 

I like the steering slightly turned that is a nice touch to break the symmetry, a hair more would be better give a bit more action, but she is sleek. looks like she is moving when sitting still.... Question, do the lift doors open? if so, it would make for a much nicer display, show more of your great craftsmanship.....

 

Wonderful Job brother, wonderful job well done......

Very nice build Craig. I want one................... Not the model, the real thing!

 

Actually being the old foggie I am think I would like a Shelby American GT40 https://www.shelby.com/en-us/Vehicles/GT40-Shelby-Edition or a Superperformance GT40, https://www.superformance.com/factory-models-gt40

Neither one would be as fast or high tech design but would have a lot of cool factor and I'm almost certain just as fun to drive on the roads available here in the US.

Why not? Isn't California just Western Florida? Far west!

Hmm !

 

Florida = hurricanes, sink holes, alligators 

California = wild fires, earthquakes, landslides

I am very familiar with hurricanes, gators, and sinkholes. Learned to live with that from five generations of grandparents who came before me. Earthquakes, wild fires, and landslides, not so much. 🙂
