I thought, the body was prepared for clear coat. But....
![Album image #4 Album image #4](/albums/img/5/7/5/612575-18821-30-720.jpg)
...I was wrong. Something didn't work out. So I had to strip down the color.

Third try of the paint job *lol*. Here clear cote. You see, that it was at the same time like the C2.

Sure, I was thinking about to paint it in another color. But the undercarriage is done silver.

The last job on the body: chrom trim and the black inlays at the side.
![Album image #13 Album image #13](/albums/img/5/6/6/612566-18821-99-720.jpg)
Decals not yet installed.

Bumpers got a new layer of chrome.
![Album image #15 Album image #15](/albums/img/5/6/5/612565-18821-66-720.jpg)
After wet sanding and polishing, I think I'm done with the body. Except the black inlays on the sides.

Interior is done, all decals placed.

The body is done. Like it.
![Album image #18 Album image #18](/albums/img/9/7/7/619977-18821-47-720.jpg)
Nearly done. Put BMF on it and brought chassis and body together

Thank you Tim! From now on it's a short way to go😉
I saw your idea on scaemates. This model kit (what you're goinig to build) is what I'm looking for. I have the 62 by AMT and it Looks not well made around the headlights. They look tiny....

Album info
It all starts with this 1958 Corvette. My Silver Corvette Collection.
I want to build something unusual. Not even red with White, something different. My choice is silver with black.
